Where do you find it

The Rimu tree is found only in New Zealand in Northland down to Stewart Island.

Why is it important to Maori

It is important to maori because it has many uses to help them like:

The inner bark was beaten into a pulp to put on burns.
The pulp bark was mixed with water and hot stones to put on running sores.
The bark of a Rimu was used to stop wounds bleeding.

Some other uses:

It is also used to make furniture and bowls and other wooden construction.

Homework Challenge - Care for Younger Children - Create a game or activity for them to play

This weekend I went to look after a little boy called Will, He is 3 years old. I created an activity using velcro letters and a felt melt. The purpose of the activity was to teach him to recognize letters and start learning some words that are used in his everyday life. Some of he words were Will (his name), Car (his favourite toy) and pig (one of his favourite farm animals). 

Will enjoyed the activity but I learnt that 3 year olds don't have long attention span so he did the activity quite quickly as he wants to learn new things and have new and exciting adventures. One of his favourite ames is to play hide and seek.

Hope you enjoyed
