Now you have read what a wharepuni is we have to write 2 similarities to our own home and the wharepuni, and 2 differences about your home and the wharepuni. Here is what I thought...
- The first reason why it is similar to my house is because it is a house and anyone can live in it.
- The second reason why it is similar to my house is that my house is a wooden house too.
- The first difference that I spotted out was that my house didn't have any of those Maori designs that were on the side of the wharepuni.
- Another difference I found was that their doors were always opened because they didn't have doors that time!
From making this blog post I learnt what a wharepuni is and how useful it was in the old days. It was hard to find the similarities because that was a long long time ago! It was easy find the differences because their were so much not in common to my house. Next time I will try and find better reason why it is kind of the same as my house. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post and would feel free to leave a comment! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!
Hey Amie,
ReplyDeleteWow, you have put in a lot of time and effort into this blog post. I really liked how you recognised that the wharepuni has Maori carvings surrounding the building. I find the Maori carvings so fascinating as they tell so any stories and are used to remember ancestors. Can you think of another building where you will find Maori carvings.
Keep up the amazing work Amie, it is a joy to read you posts.
Have a lovely day,
Megan :)
