SML Week 1 day 2

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?

Answer: A little bit

On your blog, compare the wharepuni to your own home. What are two

similarities and two differences between a wharepuni and your house?

From my point of view the difference are:

My house     丨     Similarities     丨     Wharepuni

Door                              Roof                                 Made out of wood

Roof                              Window                           Have carving around it

Kitchen                         Rooms to sleep in         Smaller comparing to my house                                                          

Bathroom                      More than 1 room                                                                

Toilets
