My Inquiry Presentation!

I had 3 weeks to question, research and present information to do with Whanaungatanga. I chose Maori medicine. Here is a photo and a video of my presentation.

Information Report about Harakeke

Helpful Plant - Harakeke!

Did you know that Harakeke is still used today?
Other people didn’t know that!

Appearance:
Hararkeke looks like a bush as well as a green shadow. Another thing I think it looks like is a green hedgehog.

How Harakeke Heals:
Did you know that Harakeke is a plant that can help to heal sores, cuts, bruisers and broken bones or broken fingers? The strong fibres were even used to help sew up wounds!

How the Harakeke is prepared:
The Tohunga (preist/doctor) is the only person with the power to use the medicine unless the Touhunga isn’t there and it’s an emergency. The roots can be roasted or boiled.

Conclusion:
Did you know that the Maori people mostly used Harakeke and Hangehange as their most important plant for Rongoa.

My First Movie!

Miss Hansell set a challenge of making our very first movie using iMovie! We had to take the pictures, add transitions, add music and edit it all ourselves! Here is the end product, I hope you like it.

Pirate Ship Maths

On Wednesday the 19th, Keleni, Alison, Wiremu , Avia, Mavis, Faith and I went outside for Maths. We had to follow some instructions about measurement. The boys did their own while the girls did theirs. We did this because we were learning about measurement.
We had a blue pirate ship and the boys had a yellow pirate ship. We had to follow all of the instructions that were on the sheet. The first step was to draw a 4 metre line that went from left to right. Next we had to draw a curved line from one side to the other. We had to measure carefully so that it looked right.
Here is a picture of what we did.
