Kia ora Bloggers,
Today I am going to show you a piece of writing that I did for our ancestors about the Polynesians way finding.Here is my writing.
Something I found challenging: Writing the story
Something I enjoyed: The painting
Polynesian navigators are very impressive because they know how to navigate using stars and other things and they are also impressive because they are good at sailing the wakas. Did you know that the Polynesians are able to use the wind, sea creatures and debris (branches, leaves and others)? Did you know that the pacific oceans is as large as 16 football fields wait did I say 16 no i meant 16 BILLION Rugby fields?
Way finding navigation is where Polynesians use the ocean, floating debris and more. did you know a way to find stars is to put your hand up in the sky and use your hand to measure the stars like how far the are away from each other. If you want to find the Matariki stars you can use this technique too.... oh wait! I forgot to tell you what is Matariki. Matariki is a cluster of stars only seen at night to find these stars you got to look for a cluster of SEVEN stars yes I said seven.
