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?
Differences:
Wharepuni
- Where family comes together.
- Everyone talks
My home
- It doesnt feel like a home.
- No one talks
Similarities:
Wharepuni
- Has a roof
- Has windows
My home
- Has a roof
- Has windows
Hi Annalisa, great to see that you have completed another activity.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and keep safe over summer.
Are you able to make a comparison between two different places you've lived?
I have been lately because I am moving to London, England. It is going to be very different from New Zealand. I think it's snowing there at the moment!
Keep up the great blogging, you are doing a fantastic job!
Billy :)
