SIMILARITIES:
- A Wharepuni is place where families sleep - My home is where my family and I sleep
- A Wharepuni house was made by hand by the Maori people - My home was also made by hand by my family members.
NON SIMILARITIES
- A Wharepuni roof and walls were made of timber, fern, rushes and bark
- A Wharepuni is just where the people sleep - My home is where I store food, Sleep, and more.
You guys may be wondering wait in NZ people have jobs to built houses, I was actually comparing a Wharepuni with my house in Tonga. Tonga is similar to what the Maori people did back in the days, so I thought it was a good idea to do my home land in Tonga and compare it to the Wharepuni.
Hope you enjoy.

Hi Sarah!
You've done a great job with this activity! I think it's a great idea to compare the wharepuni to your house is Tonga and you've made some interesting comparisons - particularly that both were built by the people of the land, but they are used differently. Whereabouts in Tonga are you from? I visited Tonga about 7 years ago. I mostly stayed in Nuku'alofa and I loved it.

Kia Ora Sarah
This is very good. I agree with Nicky its great how you compared the Wharenui to your house in Tonga. Quick question, was this task easy?
Keep up the great work :)

Hey Sarah,
Cool, thanks for sharing. I searched Folaha on google and it looks quite small but lots of fun with all the dancing and festivities :)
