Early polynesian navigation.

This past week we have been working on Early Polynesian navigation. We had to research about Polynesian's this is what i wrote about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you find your way around?

The Polynesian way finders used different ways of navigating these are the 3 ways they did it using stars,clouds and birds.

They had to use there hands to navigate at night because they didn't have to technology we have now

North stars are fixed points; they mark the point north. 

Southern cross showed where the south was. There's a line across the sky connected to 2 other stars then you look down on an angle that you have found south.The Polynesian use the stars to see where north south east and west is sometimes they use their hands to navigate. 

Big group of clouds could be above the mountains so you don't know there are mountains there.

Clouds reflect islands because it could be raining or it would be over top of the water on the island.They use the clouds to find the way the wind is blowing because the way the wind is blowing the clouds move the way the wind is blowing.

Birds near islands can only go so far or they will have no food and they will be tired.

Birds can only fly 190km from land so they can find their way back.They use the birds to find the island because they can see how the birds' wings are flapping their wings. 

Way finders navigated by the North star fixed point and they used clouds and birds.The clouds the way finders were looking for are stratus clouds and lenticular clouds.

Reading

Today we had to silent reading for ten minutes I read the book The Witch story I found it on the shelf in M1 this is the cover of my book 

Whale Rider

In such movies as Whale Rider, about a 12-year-old Maori girl who dreams of becoming her tribe's first female chief, and North Country, based on the true story of the first class-action sexual harassment suit brought to trial, by a female miner in Minnesota, Caro explores themes of gender and power. Koro leads a cultural school for the village's first-born boys, hoping to find a new leader. He teaches the boys to use a taiaha (fighting stick), which is traditionally reserved for. The whales that niki was riding were humpback whales.

The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. It is one of the larger rorqual species, with adults ranging in length from 12–16 m and weighing around 25–30 metric tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and a knobbly head

chocolate chip cookies.

Today in cooking we made chocolate chip cookies.

The ingredients we had to use was: 
1/2 c sugar(100g) , 200g butter , 4T Condensed Milk , 
2t Baking power , 2c Flour , 2 t Essence , 
1/2 c Inclusions (eg Choc chips) 

We had to work in pairs of 2 I went in a group with Hollie E. They look like golden brown cookies when we brought them out of the oven.We had two periods to finish the cookies  but we finished them faster than we thought. so we had one more period to get through so the teachers suggest We should write what we did on our blogs.I had so much cookies so I gave so out to the teachers. I gave one to my teachers and he gave my feedback back to me. He said they where so soft and they where super yummy:) I was happy. I rate my group out of 5 a 5/5 bc we didn't argue about getting stuff and we cooperated nicely: byee

Matariki

                                               What is Matariki?
In Māori today me and cayleigh worked together and wrote down what Matariki is and what's the purpose is of Matariki. In the Māori language Matariki is both the name of the Pleiades star cluster. And also of the season of its first rising in late May or early June. This is a marker of the beginning of the new year. Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Māori New Year. Traditionally, it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new life. In the 21st century, observing Matariki has become popular again. Heaven-bound kites, hot-air balloons and fireworks help mark the occasion. hope this helped you out if you didn't really know what the purpose of Matariki and what Matariki is. bye!

Reading

Today I did some reading in the warm sun I was reading The magic finger Illustrated by Quentin Blake I love his book I would recommend for year 7s or 8s to read this book I'd think u would like it.

I was really happy with myself that I got it finished so quickly. This is what I had to do. And then when I finished that we all had to make our own ones this is what mine turned out  like :) Is this right Mr Mitchell. By Hollie
