Year 8 & 18 Investigate Rongoa

 

"When the land is well the people are well"

Today Room 8 & 18 researched the special rakau (trees) & tipu (plants) in the nghere (forest) that are Rongoa (medicine).

Some things we found:

-Harakeke can heal wounds

- Kowhai for cuts

- Pohutukawa for diarrhea

- Puriri for ulcers

- Koromiko for dysentery

We explored where we can find these trees and plants in our kura (school) then consolidated our knowledge with a cut and paste activit
