Waka description

Talofa lava bloggers,

Paterson class has learnt about the wayfinding navigation. 

Wayfinding Navigation is like you use birds, sea creatures, sun, moon, stars and floating debris.

Our waka hourua has sails made out of flax.

Our waka hourua has all types  of designs,like v shaped hulls. 

Our  waka has a hut in the center of the beam and has enough space to fit all of us.

My job on the waka is being a teacher,this is my job I teach people if they don't know anything.

Bye see you next time and hope you will like it ;)

way finding navigation

Kia ora bloggers!

Today  I am going to teach you  an amazing  millennial knowledge of my Polynesian ancestors: way finding navigation is a Polynesian technique for sailing.They used the stars(star compass), using the waves or the wind,looking at the position of the sun and moon, observing the floating debris and the birds.How to find  stars without instrument'sin the sky the navigators memorise The  star compass. They know the most important ones. They use their hands to find their way. Matariki is a constellation,a cluster a cluster of star is like a group of stars.Some people see 9,8,11,12,7 stars in the sky
