Title	h`Tj
Orientation What are your responsibilities? What have you done to prepare for the long voyage? Who is coming with you? Why are you leaving? What will you miss? What fears do you have? What are you looking forward to?	Being a kid meant I didn’t have to look after everyone on the waka or think about how I was going to keep our food fresh. This was a relief because my whole family were all on this boat.  When I heard that we were leaving I really knew that I would miss my friends. My biggest fear was that I didn’t know if we would make it safely to the new land. Those waves seemed to go on for ever.
First paragraph Begin with a time word Reflect and recount what happened through your eyes as you set sail. How were you feeling? How were the others on the boat feeling? What could you see? What could you hear?	When I first saw the water I felt seasick because the waves were really big. I think it looked like the others were worried about going on the trip too. I could hear the waves pushing up against the boat all day and all night. That sound was so annoying.
Second paragraph Begin with a time word Reflect and recount what happened and how you (and the others on board) were feeling after being at sea for a few days. What could you see? What could you hear? What could you smell?	Two days after we left I felt really scared because I saw lightning striking the big waves. The storm made the waves really hungry. They were so big I thought they were going to eat us. My pet pig was became dinner for some of those waves. I felt sad because he was my favourite pet.
Third paragraph Begin with a time word Describe your role on the boat. How did you learn your skills? Why do the others on the boat depend on you? How does this make you feel?	Everyday I watched the older people steering the boat, following the stars and moving the sails around so they caught the wind. I wanted to help but they said I was too little. This made me feel annoyed because it felt like no one depended on me. One day when there was lots of rain one of the ropes broke loose. I saw this and knew it was up to me to help because I was young and fit. I climbed the mast, it was a long way up but it made me feel good because I got to help my family.
Fourth paragraph Begin with a time word Reflect and recount what happened when land was spotted. Who saw land first? What signs were there to tell you land was near? How did seeing land make you feel? Why?	When we seen the land we were really happy and excited .we were singing and celebrating at the same time.I was a bit scared because I have no idea where to go and I don’t  have any friends to play with but it will be alright. I will make different friends.my family were so happy about  the island.
Conclusion Say how you felt throughout the voyage, what you had learnt and what you would do differently next time.	When we all started to go on the voyage I was a bit scared because I felt that we wouldn't get all the way there safely.
