Week One: In the Beginning (1800-1870) 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 of a traditional wharepuni. Does it look like your house?  On your blog, compare the Wharepuni to your own home.

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! Draw a picture of yourself doing your dream job and post it on your blog. You can use whatever you like to create your picture: photoshop, pen & paper, Google Draw etc. You could be a doctor, an actor or even a zookeeper!

I would like to become a Doctor 1 Day to help others that are in need and also to give back to the community . Bonus Activity:​ ​Special​ ​Meals Bonus​ ​Activity:​ ​Special​ ​Meals Back in the 1800s, most Māori ate a simple diet.

Week One: In the Beginning (1800-1870) Cool Kiwi Fact #1: Did you know that the Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa? Loosely translated this means ‘land of the long white cloud.’ Day 1: Arriving in New Zealand… Activity 1: The First Settlers It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia. Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’  Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture. Follow this link to read a short story about a famous man in Māori mythology – Maui. On your blog, post three facts that you learned about this interesting man.

Activity 2: Setting Sail The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand. My Letter for the Loved One’s Back at Home Bonus Activity: Waka Ama To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races. Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?
