It’s All in a Day’s Work SLJ - Week 1 day 2 Activity 1

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 Tiny Bit

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

similarities and two differences between a wharepuni and your house?
