Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work
Activity 1: A House or a Home?
In the 1800s, most Māori lived in villages called pa. Each village had many buildings – kauta where people cooked, pataka where they stored goods and wharepuni where the Māori slept. A traditional wharepuni had a thatched roof and walls made of timber, fern, rushes and bark. Look at the picture below of a traditional wharepuni. Does it look like your house?
On your blog, compare the wharepuni to your own home. What are two similarities and two differences between a wharepuni and your house?

Hi Brooke,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's great to see that you've been working through these activities. Well done!
I like how you've laid out your thinking on the photo. You've done some very good thinking here and come up with some good similarities and differences. I like how you've talked about how shoes are not allowed in a wharepuni but are allowed in your house.
Would you like to stay in a wharepuni one day? It would be a very different experience from living at my house!
I look forward to reading more of your blog over summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
