The Wharenui is like a book. Certain people can read the carvings inside and
outside (It’s like pages to a book of history). Inside of the Wharenui there is
photographs of people that have passed away that were special to the tribe,
so they will never be forgotten.

Tēnā koe Porsha. Well done for using your writing and drawing skills to share your learning about wharenui. Your diagram was amazingly detailed and clear and easy to read. You are a fab artist!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see your writing was organised into paragraphs and that you explained the basic structure of a wharenui and what it might be used for.
Your next step is to add more detail to your paragraphs and some more complex punctuation. Ka pai tō tuhituhi.
