Year Three Tummy Tea

 Today Year Three continued to learn about the uses for the herbs we grow at our kura.. We investigated kawakawa, an important plant for Maori Rongoa (medicine).

We combined kawakawa leaves, mint leaves, SunnyHoney and hot water to make refreshing tea that soothes our tummies after all that Easter chocolate. 

Tino "Kawakawa is healthy for your tummy and teeth" 

Camelias "It tasted like mint and water" 

Emily "I didn't really want to try ot but when I did, I liked it" 

Coby"Kawakawa leaves with make medicine. No holes us better for tea"

Ciara "The tea was a light yellow colour" 

Annabelle "Drink it slowly so you can get the taste". 

Next time we're going to take part in our anual bird survey.
