Summer Learning Journey Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work

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?





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!.
