Rongoa & Tea History with Room Wha

 This morning with Mrs Daniel, Room 4 took a deep dive into Maori Rongoa and the world history of tea.

Firstly, we investigated kawakawa - a Maori medicinal plant.  We made tea and tried it and ate the cooked leaves.  Next we researched other rongoa rakau we could grow at school.  We discovered that we could create a Mara Rongoa by growing these traditional healing plants:

- manuka

- harakeke

- rata

- kawakawa 

- ponga

After morning tea we studied the world history of tea and played a kahoot to review.

Lastly we reflected on our sustainability journey by bookmarking the blog on our devices and having a browse.  We liked seeing photos of ourselves, friends and siblings.
