For our first
session we were really excited. We went to the Learning Hub and got introduced
to Arihia Latham, a Rongoā Māori expert.
First we learnt how to harvest kawakawa;
it was really interesting. Then we got into groups and tore kawakawa leaves and
put them in jars. Then we poured oil in over the leaves. Then we had to leave
the full moon to do some work. A month later we were ready for part two. We put
our maths brains on and entered. We grated the beeswax so it could be melted
easily.
Then we strained the oil out and added the right amount of beeswax. We
melted it and mixed it together on the stove.
When it was ready we took turns
to pour it in to small jars that Karin gave us. Thank you Arihia!
