Technology - nga waka

Today we started to learn about waka, their types, uses and what they look like eg their basic parts. 

We also learnt the difference between a traditional waka and a modern waka. We discovered that traditional waka and modern waka have some similarities eg their shape but that they have differences eg what they're made of.

There are 5 different types of traditional waka

Waka taua - war canoe
Waka hourua - double hulled
Waka tētē- fishing canoe
Waka tīwai - river canoe
Mōkihi - raft

Most were made out of Tōtara but some were made out of kauri wood because they came from different areas.

There are 2 different types of modern waka.

Waka ama- used for racing
Waka Tangata- used to teach people about traditional waka
