Early Māori
On the 2nd of November we had Whaea Toni come into our class and learnt some early Māori. We learnt about the technology that they used back in the days. Everyone looked like they did not know anything just like me I was blank as a paper.
What is technology about????
- Meets a need/problem
- Invention by design
- Practical resources/materials
- Innovation and adaption
Innovation means great ideas and adaption means changes. We also learnt about the resources that they used when they went out to catch food.
We also learnt that when Whaea Toni was going to have a new mokopuna. So she was asking Whaea Clare how to make a little bed just how they made it back in the days.
Back in the days they would whack people if they spoke māori…. Whaea Toni’s dad went to a school where they weren't aloud to speak māori. One day he speaked māori then he got a whack about 3 or 4 whacks…
When they had no shoes to wear they would use some of the cabbage tree and weave it together and make some shoes like these ones.
They would weave it so they could wear it during their journey while they are walking through the bush.
That is really good work for the reader I really liked what you did.
