We had a lot of rain so sometimes it wasn’t possible to work outside, so we made it cosy inside instead and learned about the benefits of herbs and what they are used for in the healing medicine.

We cut twigs of Rosemary, Thyme and Mint, rubbed them in between our fingers, this is also how you can identify them as they smell so divine!

We learned via a google slide how New Zealand native plants have been used in Māori Medicine to heal wounds, a sore tummy or tooth ache, as our focus is on a Rongoa garden and many of these plants will be planted in the school garden.

We ended the day with a boost for our immune system to keep us healthy and made hot lemons with Manuka honey and mint.
