Activity 2: Acknowledging Ancestry

All of us are members of a family. Some of us have large families and some

of us have very small families. When I have the opportunity to talk about my

family and my ancestry I sometimes choose to use a pepeha. It is a very

special way of identifying who I am and where I come from. There are

many different versions of pepeha but most provide people with information

about who you are and where you come from (i.e. your whakapapa). Use the

template provided below to prepare your own unique pepeha. If you need

help please watch this short movie clip on preparing a pepeha.

Day 3: It’s All in the Family

Activity 1: The More, the Merrier?

In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an
average of seven to nine children.  Imagine that you were a child in the
1800s and you had nine siblings.

On your blog, please tell us ow you would feel. Would you enjoy being a
member of such a large family? Why or why not?

I would be happy to be living in a big family which I am right now. The
reason why is because, If your just a child or two you will not have that much
support and even so no that much fun. But when you have siblings you have all the
support you need. It doesn’t matter if you get angry at each other but the one thing that
stays with you forever is, always having each others back. Also  you can have much
more fun playing together. I will never be this happy having all my brothers, family
and friends supporting me. I’m very happy living my life with all my family.

Bonus Activity: Special Meals

Back in the 1800s, most Māori ate a simple diet. They ate foods that they could
catch in the water (eg. fish) or grow on the land (eg. kumara). They did not
have access to a supermarket to buy food for their meals! Speaking of meals,
what is your favourite meal? Mine is wood-fired pizza. Yum!

As you all can see Butter Chicken is my most favourite meal. Even so today

I just had Butter chicken before I went to my baby brothers last day at

kindergarten. The reason why I like Butter Chicken so much is because

there’s is rice which you can mix with the butter chicken, So delicious.

With the pizza bread (That's what I call it) it is even more delicious.

Sorry I do not know how to make butter chicken.

Activity 2: The Rules of Engagement

Activity 2: The Rules of Engagement

During the early years in New Zealand, men and women would often marry

at a young age. Women were expected to have babies and remain in the home

caring for their children. Few, if any, left home in search of work. Men,

on the other hand, were expected to work outside of the home.

These days, we don’t have the same strict expectations about work. Girls

and boys can choose their own path in life. In fact, I was lucky enough

to go to university and to follow my dream of becoming a teacher!

What is your dream job? Draw a picture of yourself doing your dream

job and post it on your blog. You could be a doctor, an actor or even a
zookeeper! I have drawn myself taking a picture of a beautiful castle in
Poland because I would love to become a travel blogger and
photographer one day.

My dream Job Is Being a Dentist. Today I’ve drawn me for the first time
fixing up other people's teeth. When I grow older I would like to take
the opportunity to

become a dentist and help people in their life. Also my career is playing Rugby.

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                                                                                         

Living room

Made out of bricks
