Waka description

 Kia ora bloggers,

Today I will be sharing my waka writing description with you. 

Paterson class learnt about Wayfinding Navigation and built their very own waka.

My waka hourua has some very important features for it to sail. It has  V- shaped hulls and a hut for the crew members. My waka also has strong sails for sailing so the crew members don’t get stranded in the sea. My waka is really big to fit everyone inside. My job on the waka is being a cook. I make food for all the members on the waka so they don’t starve.

Here is my waka that I made on tinkercad:

I know it does not look perfect but it has everything a waka needs. Real wakas aren’t colourful, they are made from totara  wood so it’s brown. I really hoped you liked my writing. Bye bloggers 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋.

Wayfinding Navigation

 Kia ora bloggers,

Today I will be teaching you an amazing millennial knowledge of our Polynesian ancestors. In the olden days Polynesian people never had a GPS to use while there were sailing. They used the sun, moon wind, stars, waves and sea creatures they also memorised all the important stars names.  

Here is a picture of a Polynesian navigating with the stars:

Sometimes they even observe the sun and the moon rising position and setting position.

In Paterson class our main topic is Wayfinding Navigation. I enjoyed going on a site to

perform how to navigate with the stars. What I found challenging was the amount of books I 

had to read. 

You can recognise Matariki by looking a bit closer to the sunrise is the best view to see Matariki. Now it's you turn you have a go looking outside at sunrise. I tried but didn't manage to find it maybe you can find it. Bye bloggers 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋.
