Last term we learnt about rongoa Maori. It was fun, we all enjoyed making kawakawa balm and oil. We also had to make packaging and labels for the balm. I found it easy because you just need to make a box net on google drawings and we learnt how to make sure the sides were the correct size. Next time I need to cut the net out straighter and fold carefully on the lines.
In the unit I learnt that lots of native plants can be used to heal us in different ways. Harakeke can help you if you have a sprained ankle by using the stalk as a splint. Harakeke can be used to heal blisters and minor cuts.
