Ruby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's great to see that you've been working through these activities! Well done.
Great work on this activity. I really like how you have laid out your thinking in two different ovals for each section. You have come up with some great similarities and differences here. I like how you have talked about both your house and a wharepuni keeping people dry and warm.
You have talked about a wharepuni having big wooden designs on it. Why do you think the Maori peoples have carvings on their houses? I wonder if there is a reason for that or if they are decorative. Can you help me find out?
I look forward to reading more of your blog over summer. Cheers, Ruby.

Hi Ruby,
ReplyDeleteThe Maori wooden designs represent art and a story.
Here is the website where I found the information.

Hi Tanner,
DeleteThat is so cool! Thanks for linking me the website so that I could have a look. What sorts of stories do the carvings tell?
Cheers,
Ruby.
