It is awesome to see that you have been so busy over the last few days with Summer Learning Journey activities. You have thought of some great similarities and differences between a wharepuni and a modern house. I think you have acknowledged a huge difference, which is the carvings that we can see around the structure of the wharepuni. These carvings are important and historical illustrations that tell a story about the building of the wharepuni along with the tribes story. Have you ever visited a wharepuni before? If so, I would love to hear about your experience and what stories you remember hearing about the carvings.
One difference I have recognised, is that a wharepuni is one open space that has four walls. A modern house usually has a number of rooms, separated by many walls, and includes a kitchen and a bathroom. Can you think of any other features of the modern house that you would not see in a wharepuni?
I am looking forward to hearing back from you Lucy. Maybe on your next post you could include a bit more information and some pictures. I think this will attract other bloggers to comment on your work.
