What we have learnt about the Water Cycle

Here is our Water Cycle assessment. I think the children all worked very hard. We used the SUPER THREE to help us to work together and to get the job done. We also wrote our own explanations about the water cycle. Here is the Water Cycle explanation we wrote together as a class:

The Water Cycle

Yesterday I learnt from the Highlander I need to drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. I have also found out that water is older than my parents. This is because it has been on the earth since earth began! Wow that is old!

First the sun heats the water up and it turns into clouds. When it is going up into the clouds this is called vapour and this is transpiration. When it is made into a cloud this is called condensation.

Precipitation is when the clouds cannot hold anymore water and it rains.

After that, the water that has not been used by the plants, animals or us soaks into the ground and goes into an aquifer. Then the cycle starts all over again.

Each time the water goes around the cycle it is like a washing machine. If too much rubbish is put into the water cycle the water will not be clean. I am going to remember to look after water because it is important for me, the animals and all the plants on the earth.

In our writing books we assessed our own writing with this rubric:

Have I used words like next, then, and last?

Have I used capital letters and full stops?

Have I introduced the topic?

Have I used paragraphs?

Have I rounded off my explanation?
