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?

Similarities - It’s a house
You can keep warm in a house & sleep inside it.
You can eat in a house.
Differences -
There are patterns in /on the house
There are statues in/on the house
It's made out of different things.
Hey Macky,
ReplyDeleteYou found some great differences and similarities, if you had the choice to live in the Wharepuni would or would you not?
Malo lelei Macky,
ReplyDeleteWell done! You have found some great similarities and differences. I like how you added that people eat in your house and also in the wharepuni. There aren't any patterns or statues on my house either. Some wharepuni didn't have any carvings on them at all. Here is a link that will show you a more humble wharepuni: https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/40343/makotukutuku-wharepuni
I look forward to reading more of your blog. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Ruby.
