Extension reflection

 For this term in extension we learnt about how ancient Polynesians navigate and directions. 

You might be asking what have you learnt about ancient Polynesians? did you know ancient Polynesians use nature to navigate. 

The first sign from nature was Birds.  Seabirds helped Polynesians find land because these types of birds had to fly away to find food. Then they would come back at night. 

Clouds clouds helped Polynesian navigators because clouds move slowly when they pass over land. 

Ocean swells Ocean swells help because you would know if there is an island ahead if the water is starting to push the opposite way it was before.

Stars Polynesian navigators used stars as a compass because they had to memorise the position of the stars.

These are directions I know North, south, east, west, south west, south east, north west, north east, forward, backwards, right, left and diagonal.
