What does the whare and its various parts represent? What are its parts called? What is the whare used for?
This lesson focusses on encouraging learners to participate in the use of Te Reo Māori and understanding tangata whenua history, culture and customs.
Throughout this session, learners will look holistically at the structure of the whare tupuna, Hotunui and learn the names of the parts. Learners will also look at traditional weaving patterns and learn to weave just like the ancestors did.
Join the education team in this exciting journey as we weave our way through history using our most treasured taonga, Hotunui.
