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?
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

1: A House or a Home?
The similarities between the wharepuni and my house is we both have windows and doors , can't forget we both have a roof!.
The Differences :
my house is made out of bricks ,The wharepuni is made out of timber and fern.
The wharepuni have awesome carving where my house doesn't have anything like that!.

Dear buddy
I'm in a waka going to a new country called New Zealand. it is cool at the moment in the waka. I'm really nervous when I get there all I have seen is fish and dolphins it was so awesome. I'v also seen flying fish they look cool. when I was on the waka water splashed on me. Your friend Dani
