Last week we were learning about Maori medicinal plants. We had chosen a plant that was growing in our school gardens and made a sign for it. Our sign would have to display the healing properties of the plant. I chose Harekeke which we have lots of. I planned my sign online and then painted it on a plank. I wrote the words in a paint pen. I enjoyed designing my sign and painting it. I found it difficult to use the paint pens because they leaking cause I was pressing too hard.
Morena Emma,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that flax could be used for more than weaving and that it was even a Rongoa plant. It must have been a very important plant for the Maori as it had so many uses and medicinal properties. I would love to see you add an image of your actual sign too please.
Ma te wa,
