A House or a Home

  1. Hi Richie,

    Ruby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's great to see that you've been working on these activities. Well done!

    You've thought of some good similarities and differences here. I wonder if you know what a thatched roof means? I would be very surprised if you had a thatched roof! That was one of the differences I had between my house and a wharepuni.

    You've said that wharepuni's have carvings and patterns on them. Why do they have those, do you think?

    I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
    Cheers,
    Ruby.

  2. Hi Ruby,
    Thanks for your comments.

    I think they have patterns and carving according to their tribes to show who they are and what they believe.This is what I heard but not sure how sure this is?

    cheers
    Richie

      Great thinking! That's certainly part of it. If you would like to find out some more about what the carvings mean, here is a link that you might find some information on:
