Me moving to another country
To my dear friend Amelia As we were sailing through, the waves were crashing up against the sides of our Waka on my voyage along with family I thought that we might capsize I wondered if there would be chance that their might be anyone else at our stop it was scary but at the same time exciting their were also fellow villagers and a couple of friends of mine I missed my friends who couldn't come join on our voyage it is now 9.00 at night I looked up at the stars and thought what if there were cannibals or we sunk to the bottom of the sea I couldn't bare the thought on our way I asked my father how he navigated through the night he said he used something called wayfinding it is a way to sail through the night by using the stars as a guide to help you find your way through the night sky were you can't really see anything. A few days had past and I heard the sounds of birds in the distance I went to the front of the Waka and looked toward the horizon, I woke my mother and father and said look there's land they woke with a smile and did a signal to the other Voyagers to say we found land some of them were asleep but they soon woke to find land ahead we build camp and the men went fishing and hunting well the woman got the fires ready along with weaving new fishing nets they also got coconuts they had to husk to make drinks. After we celebrated with a fest and drinks we then called it a night it was an amazing night and an exciting new experience but at the same time I thought it was kinda strange to just go to another place thousands of miles away it took me awhile to get used to it and I still missed my friends and you very much but I made some new friends who I hope you'll meet very soon . As the night was nearing my parents taught me how the fish and husk along with weaving and hunting it was the best day of my life so don't be discouraged and scared.
Hi Awaroa.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you on here Blogging and starting the Summer Learning Journey. I know you were really excited to get started into it so super happy to see you on here.
Thanks for completing this task. You explained really well about what it was like on the Voyage going to a new country but i would like to hear more about how you felt during this time. Think about things like your emotions and leaving your friends behind.
Who were you writing the letter to? remember at the beginning of the letter format it says
