How do you find your way around? The Polynesian wayfinder navigated the Pacific ocean using the sun moon fish debris. Polynesian wayfinder used these to navigate their way around because they don't have the technology we have now they use stars, clouds and birds.
North stars are fixed points; they mark the point of the north. Southern cross showed where south was there's a line across the sky connected to 2 other stars then you look down on an angle then 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 where the stars are.
Big group of clouds could be above mountions so you don't know there is a mountains there. Clouds reflect islands because it could be raining or it would be over top of the water on the island. The Polynesian 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.
Near islands can only go so far out they will have no food and they will be tired. Birds can only fly 190km from land so they can find their way back. The Polynesian use the birds to find the island because they can see how the birds were flapping their wings because they get tired.
Wayfinders navigated by northern star fixed point and they used clouds and they followed the long tailed cuckoo. The clouds the wayfinder were looking for are stratus clouds and lenticular clouds.

Today we had to do a Communication challenge. We had to communicate from 100m away. Me and Cayleigh did sign language. This is our sign langue sheet. Mrs gave us a word and we had to use this sheet to tell the person 100m away.
The thing we did well was get the word to the other people the thing I would change is having other communication signals.
