Well Captain James Cook sighted New Zealand on 6th October 1769 and landed at Poverty bay two days later. He drew a detailed and accurate maps of the country and wrote about the Moari people.

Summer Learning Journey activity 1
Namaste bloggers,
This week I am starting Summer Learning Journey for this first time, sorry for how late I was for this blog post. Anyways lets get started with this adventure.
Setting Sail And Exploring The World
How did Polynesian navigators travel the pacific ocean with the stars, sun and ocean swells?
Traditionally Polynesian navigators used stars to help navigate where they were going. They used a device called a star compass, a star compass is used to help memorize the rising points and setting points of the brightest and most distinctive stars and planets to set direction. The ability to read the sky is a great skill to have especially in the olden days. The pattern's of the stars and rhythms of the ocean guided them by night and the colour of sky and sun, shapes of clouds, and the direction from which the swells were coming guided them by day.
Who was the first person to figure out how to navigate with stars?
The first person to figure out how to read the stars was Thomas Hubbard Sumner. Thomas discovered (the later so called) line of position or circle of equal altitude, he (Thomas) named "parallel of equal altitude" on a voyage form South Carolina to Scotland in 1837.
