Hi Madison,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's great to see that you've been working on some of these activities. Keep it up! :)
These are great facts. There are a lot of differences between our houses today and the wharepuni houses that the original Maori settlers lived in, aren't there! I find it hard to imagine what living in an old wharepuni would be like. Would you like to stay in a wharepuni one day? It would certainly be very different.
Can you think of any similarities between the wharepuni and your house? One similarity that I came up with is that they both have rooves.
Let me know what you come up with!
Cheers,
Ruby.
