Summer learning Journey Week 1 Day 2

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?

My House	Similarities	The Wharepuni
My house has Doors No carving on my house Made out of bricks Has chairs Has Tv Has Beds Has Xbox One	Both a house Both Have toilet ( I think) Both have windows Both haves beds Both have Roofs	No doors Carving on the Front of the house Made out of Timber Has Beds

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!

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.

Here is my drawing that i drew about my future. as you
can see i want to be a cook or a chief. Sorry if it looks

a little dark because i drewed this in the night but it's ok. :)

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!

As you can see this is my favorite meal or food. It is Called Butter Chicken.
I like it because there is Rice and meat. But to make it even delicious with
Naan Bread. Sorry i Don’t know how to make butter chicken so sorry.
