Compass

Hi in hurumanu 3 class we talked about navigation.

The one who invented the first compass in William Thomson that invented the first compass. We watched a video how to use a compass, hold the compass flat and near your body, with the big direction of travel. The directions are the following North, East, South,West. There are some factors that can greatly influence how a compass take it's readings. There are jobs that still using a compass like Military, Pilot, sailman, that's the jobs that still using a compass. The 3 sports that require a compass are Orienteering, Hunting, Hiking. 

The first compass was invented in China during the Han dynasty between 2nd century. 

Science

 Hi

In Science we are learning the navigation without a  maps to go. The polynesian are not using a maps in the ocean, they are actually using the sky and ocean to find their direction. In the sky they are using the clouds, bird's, sun, moon, and stars to find their direction. In the ocean they are using the water waves, and the fish, they can tell if their are fish in the water. Their are four direction their named are East, West, South, North.

Early Polynesian Navigation

How do you navigate? The Polynesion wayfinders navigated the pacufuc Ocean by using sun,

moon, debris, vegetation, and stars. Southern cross showed where the North star was at a fixed

point. The navigation can tell anything about the east, west, south, and north stars.

Clouds reflected the Island's lagoons showing the where island where a group of clouds could

be above a mountainous island. The navigator uses the clouds to see the mountain that is on

the top of clouds. The clouds are like maps, polynesian people are navigation. They are going

in the ocean without maps like say the clouds are their maps. They are using some others for

going in direction.

They could tell their direction by the way the water hit the boat. They could tell if there are fish in

the water. If the water hit the boat navigated can tell already the direction, and they can tell if

there are fish in the water. The ocean it’s like a place of quiet; the navigated can tell if there are

fish in the ocean and not too. Navigated are using the water to tell the direction of the east, west,

south, and north stars.

The polynesion wayfinders navigated the pacific ocean by using the sun rising to da east and

west and the north star gave us a fixed point. They also use clouds to see mountains above the

clouds. So the navigated can use the water, clouds, sun, moon, debris, stars, and the fish too,

they can tell the direction by using them. They can also use the clouds to find an island and also

see the mountain above the clouds. Navigators always tell the east, west, south, and north stars

to find the direction to go.

In conclusion, the early Polynesian people did not use a GP5 at the time they used the sun and moon to know what's the time. They also use the water fish clouds, to find a mountain. The navigation always knows what direction to go. They also used the water, sun, fish, clouds, moon, and stars to find their direction to East, West, South, and North. That’s how they know where they are going in their direction. They are actually not using maps in the ocean, they are just using the water, fish, clouds, sun, moon, and stars.

Women in WW1

 Hi

In hurumanu 1 we have done a research  of the women in WW1. The  women in WW1 are working during the WW1, but the men are always get more paid than the women. Even the battle are going the women are still working of there job, but still the men are getting paid than women. It's not fair because the women are working even the WW1 it's been started the battle.

This is the women are working but still they are nit getting pay than the men.

Navigation

 Aim:

I want to walk in a straight line with no senses.

Hypothesis:

I predict that I will walk in a straight line.

Method:

Equipment

• Bucket
• Blindfold
• Cotton wool

Instructions:

1. Cover your eyes with a blindfold
2. Put cotton wool in your ears
3. Put the bucket on your head
4. Spin in a circle 3 times
5. Get your partner to line you up in the right direction
6. Begin walking in a straight line

Safety:

• Stop when you hear the whistle!
• If your partner says stop you must stop!
• Do not walk into objects (buildings, people and trees)

Result:

• Left way and right way
• the ways is so hard to know
• not see the way

• Find a satellite picture of the field
  

Conclusion

It was impossible to work which way to go.

It's like the way are gone so it's impossible to go straight.

We went to the field and do some sign language, the sign language is a words that using your arm to sign you friend, there are two on group the 1 of the group will go to the end of field. Then the one who's on the end will gave a sign and the others will think what the words that they saying, that how play the sign language.
