Rongoā Māori

Last week for reading we read about Māori healing plants. Then we found out which of these plants were in our native gardens at school. After, everybody chose one and we researched some more information. Then we summarised the main ideas onto a sign. (You can see our designs on our individual blogs.) Then we painted our signs and hammered them onto a stake. Hammering was probably the trickiest part of all! Now they are ready to be  dug into the ground next to the native tree it tells you about.

Have you ever used a plant to heal yourself?

Chinese New Year

This week we were learning how to summarise. We were reading about Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the Ox according to the Chinese Zodiac calendar. Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival, and the Lunar New Year. We had to read up to 4 books and summarise the main facts onto our posters. Some people were really quick and got time to make Chinese lanterns after they had finished their posters.
