Xavier: Medicinal plants

WALT: Explain what Rongoā Māori is. Today for Reading I was matching the sickness names with the healing names but the healing is made out of Native plants from New Zealand. My goal for next time is to match more healing names with sickness! Have you seen a Harakeke face to face before? Here is my activity and video below! 

  

 
Here are same of the ways you use the plants.
Koromiko-Chew the leaves. 
Kōwhai-Drink the leaves juice. 
Harakeke (Flax)-Use it like how you use aid healing. 
Pohutukawa-Take out the nectar in the flowers. 
Pūriri-gargled the leaves. 
KawaKawa-Chew the leave. 



Here is a video about my favourite tree.

Lisiate Sailing Trip

On Thursday the 13th of May my class and I went on a sailing trip, it was amazing. It was very cold, I also was sailing with my buddy Aston, I really enjoyed sailing because I almost fell off even though I wanted to but the helper’s said no more jumping off, only Aston jumped off, I burst out laughing because he was soaking wet, and he pore water on me and I was soaking wet as well, he pore water on me a bucket.

(here are some pictures of my sailing buddy and I)



On that day I was very cold. I also almost peed myself because of that, I also was scared for no reason, but someone from another boat was even more scared.


We were having a race with other people from my class, and only the year 6’s were supposed to come like I meant the year 5’s are allowed to come it just that the year 6’s are supposed to be with the other year 6’s but Daniel was a year 5, he came with the year 6’s.


I was scared right on that day, the reason why was because I was passing that area with my dad and I saw huge fishes there. I went fishing with my dad before when we went sailing. Also I wasn’t scared of it the most, it was someone from my class, named Taniela.


I was use to sailing because the first time I went to fishing and I saw some people sailing and also they were sailing , also my big brother Aisake (my brother) went to sailing before me he told me how it was, and I got shocked when he said he fell, I was confused until he told me he was wearing life jackets, and I almost laughed.

Before we was gonna go to sailing we were waiting for the year 5’s to go first, we went to a beach, I saw a plastic and we had to pick it all up, I was trying to find more plastic to put in the rubbish but everyone took the plastic, I only got 1 thing to put in the rubbish, I also went to the water on the beach until I realised if your wearing swimming shoes then you could go on the water with your shoes, but my brain wasn’t working properly and I just went, then it got wet, I took it off then my shorts got wet because I ran to fast I couldn’t stop, I was kind of worried but until I realised it could dry up, we also took a picture see.

(i'm the one with the white sleeves and shorts)
