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?
similarities
1,It's a home
2,Families sleep in there
differences
1,The door to small
2,No windows
Hi Akesa,
ReplyDeleteThose are good similarities and differences. Well done. I like how you have talked about families being in both wharepuni and your house.
You have said one of the differences between the wharepuni and your house is that there are "No windows". Do you mean there are no windows at your house or no windows in the wharepuni?
Cheers,
Ruby.
