Christchurch

How have the Christchurch earthquakes had an impact on our city?
Some buildings caught fire after the February earthquake. Damage to buried pipes allowed sewage to enter the water so people had to boil their tap water so then all the poo that drooped in the water has gone.

What positive or negatives have come from the quakes?
That we got new building because of all the damage on the building and lots of people died because of how bad it was.

What are some changes that citizens have made to prevent damage happening from potential future earthquakes?
They put tsunami warning system around the shores to warn people of a possible tsunami so they can get to high ground so they not drown.

My favorite place in Christchurch is botanical gardens because of how nice it looks and it is a nice place people go to hang out and have a play with there kids.

Early polynesian navigation

This week we have been doing stuff around Early Polynesian navigation and we have put it all in a docs and we have put all the information that we know about the Early Polynesian navigation and we had to put it all on a planing paper.This is what I know about the Early Polynesian navigation.

Early Polynesian navigation 

How did you find your way around? Polynesian way finders navigate the pacific ocean using sun+moon and fish+debris/vegetation sun-rose in the east and set in the west. That they didn´t have technology like we do now. 

The north stars got fixed points, the southern cross showed where south was. The stars got fixed points because all the stars needed to get fixed points. That the stars don´t change where they are in the sky. 

Clouds are all in a big group of clouds could be above mountains all clouds. Reflected to all different islands the clouds always reflected to all the islands that they see. They get reflected to the islands because of all the stuff on the islands.

Birds that are near the island are there because they can only fly 190km. A whole range of fight,flight patterns flew back to shore.They navigators knew the birds were heading back to land because they knew how to tell if the birds were tired. 

In conclusion the polynesian navigators used the southern cross to show where south was. They used different ways of navigating to help get them where they wanted to go.
