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?

On your blog, compare the wharepuni to your own home. What are two similarities and two
differences between a wharepuni and your house?

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!

My dream was to help animals and be a zookeeper doctor
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.

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!

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteMy name's Ruby and I'm one of the people blogging with you for the Summer Learning Journey this summer.
You have been doing a great job with these activities. Well done!
There are some good differences and similarities between modern houses and wharepuni. You talk about the wharepuni having a different roof. What kind of roof did it have?
That is an awesome picture of you being a vet at the zoo! I think that would be a very exciting job to have. Going to the zoo is always a lot of fun. Imagine working there! What are your favourite animals in the zoo?
Cookies are the best! I think that's a great choice of favourite food. Do you have a favourite type of cookie? My favourite type of cookie is definitely a ginger snap. Or maybe a yummy chocolate chip!
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Cheers,
Ruby.
