Term 2 Reflection

In term two we did lots of hard things and easy thing's an it was okay of a term. I am proud to say that i'm proud of anything I did but I did love the walk from Lyttelton to Christchurch it was a hour or two but the big's challenge was the walk it was harder because it was steep and narrow so it was hard but not too hard the hard part was the sidewalk. In term two most of it was in the middle of hard and easy but it get's harder in the year. For inquiry we made the waka and I was with Josiah the first day we got facts and made a dock and on the second day we did the same but got a pic of a waka but chose later to not use it and for one week it was the same but me and him did not look for a picture until like two day then on Monday I started but he was not there so when I finished he of cause got back some day but that is it.  My favorite thing is nothing. 

Waka

This is me and josaiah we made it out of four cardboard thing's come on the side of the meal then we used the pop-stick then we glued the cardboard on the very edge then put it on to it and waited for it to dry so can put the stick on it is a pencil. We put glue down then quickly put the pencil on you had to cut some paper and when we had that paper we could glue it on so I was done.

We did this because we liked the design and it looked cool to do it.

There are four types of waka’s in the world but seven names for the waka’s that tuned up in

Aotearoa called Tainui, Te Arawa, Mātaatua, Kurahaupō, Tokomaru, Aotea and Tākitimu.

The double hull waka has a double spritsail rig and appears to be made of two canoes of

different length and design lashed together. Atholl Anderson argues that the spritsail was the

most likely type of sailing rig used by the Polynesian voyagers who made it in the 13th century.

Double hulled canoes used over long distances were generally shorter (about 20 metres). Such 

Vessels were capable of travelling between 150 and 250 km a day. Tongans used the tongiaki and 

Samoans the va’a-tele, and an outrigger called an amatasi.

A double hull is a ship hull design and construction method where the bottom and sides of the

ship

have two complete layers of watertight hull surface one outer layer forming the normal hull of

The ship, and a second inner hull which is some distance inboard, typically by a few feet, which

Forms a redundant barrier to ... 

Each waka was built using two hulls (hollowed-out logs of giant kauri from the Herekino State

Forest)

with a substantial platform between them. The main structure consists of the two hulls and 

               six main crossbeams lashed together.
