science writing.

For the past few days we had to write about navigation in space and how the Polynesians did. After we write our story we get a buddy and we read each others writing and do editing and then left a comment and then we scored the writing with the easttle rubric, here is my writing. Hope you enjoy. Please leave some feed back if needed.

Did you know how people used to navigate? Back in the day when people did not have phones and could

not use google maps they used the stars. They knew what way was north because there was a bright start

that would be north. Then there is a cluster of stars that connects to the horizon and that is south. You

might be wondering what about when it is the day. They still sail they use the clouds because if they are

close to an island then the clouds are higher up then what they normally are out in the sea. 


Of course they have to have some entertainment when they are out for a long time.There are groups of

people, Some are the navigators and some are hula dancers. To remember there is a saying never for

north eat for east soggy for south and weet bix for west never eat soggy weet-bix. So for today we are

going into space we use rocket ships and rovers both rocket and rover uses rockets.They need fuel for

the rockets so they can move. 


Unlike the rover the ship needs man or woman power to make it move. So like the rocket ship the boats

needed man or woman power so now you have learnt how they use to navigate. So maybe instead of

using your phone or google maps try this way of navigating.
