Day 2: It’s All in a Day’s Work

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?



  1. A house has a different roof
  2. They have different colour between brown and blue and they
  3. had light bulbs power but did they have power like WiFi no they didn't
  4. the used those telephones in 2017 we used phones like Samsung phones i phones tablets.
  5. What we used for the house was

4. 2017 we used ovens ,stoves , lighters but back in the days they used rocks
to cook over it like a stove but that was a good idea back in the day.



  1. A wharepuni has a different roof because it has those  wood going
  2. down at the front house do but there ones are small and it has Maori
  3. statues around the wharepuni house they don’t but back in the day they
  4. didn't have colour they had brown and paint  im been in a wharepuni it was beautiful and different.

house
3.  Wood
  • Ferns
  • Bricks
  • Steel
4. What we used for cooking on we used rocks we didn't have any oven
stove we used rocks

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!

On your blog, post a picture of your favourite meal. Be sure to tell us what it is and why it is your
favourite. You could also include the recipe if you have it so that we can all try it!

  1. Hi Maria,

    My 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.
