Summer Learning Journey Day 2

What are the similarities and the non similarities to my own home and a Wharepuni

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.
