Room 1's Onawe Pa Model















Not so long ago Room 1 learnt about Onawe Pa which is a village where the Maori used to live. A pa is a village on a big hill. Making a pa is very challenging. We used sticks for the houses, clay for the warriors and the island is made out of sand. 

I learnt that Onawe pa is shaped like a whale. About 1200 Maori  people lived there. The men used to go fishing and hunting and they would then bring back fish and meat which they caught. The women used to stay home and look after the children and do the cooking and house work.
