We worked in groups to find out how Maori people in the past and today use native plants for medicine. We chose a plant we were interested in and learnt all about it. Here are photos of us with our presentations.
This is the manuka group with their fantastic honey pot.
This is the harakeke group with their beautiful flax leaves.
This is the first of our kowhai groups.
Here are the koromiko group.
This is the second kowhai group.
Here are the ngaio group making sure everyone knows the ngaio is poisonous to eat!
Last but not least the karamu group.
We would love you to come into our class and read our amazing research about the medical uses for all these plants.
We have also been busy designing our medicinal garden and finding out the best place in the school for it to go....stay tuned to find out more.
