The water cycle

Intro
The water cycle is a process what the water goes through between lands, sea, and the atmosphere. The water is recycled throughout the process. The water changers state into a gas, solid, and liquid, the water can change state in any order. The steps of the water cycle is: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, and Ground water/Runoff.

Evaporation

Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water from the oceans, rivers, and lakes or streams. Then the water turns into a gas. On colder  days the water vapor doesn't turn into a gas. Water vapor in the air is cold humidity, in some places there is a higher rate of humidity. After the water turns into a gas in floats up to the atmosphere which tuns into clouds.(Condensation)

Condensation/Precipitation

All air contains water molecules in forms of water vapor. Water vapor is invisible because the changers of state all of the time. Water vapor/gas condenses back into a liquid, water, and ice which is manly seen as clouds. Precipitation is a ''exit ramp'' back to the super highway in atmosphere, what is moving water vapor to different clouds in the glob. Once the gas turns into a cloud, then tiny droplets form. Then in rains down onto the hills and landscapes, then in runs off into streams and rivers.

Run off/Ground water

The Ground water exists on some degree know mater where you are on earth. The deeper down you go the more dense the rocks are because their is more waste deeper in the ground from all of the rain socking into the ground. Run off is when some of the rain water runs down the hills into streams and rivers.

Conclusion

The main idea about the water cycle is that the cycle never ends, it just keeps on going.

In Maths we have been learning to use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating with whole numbers.

Here is a link to our online modelling book

The strategies we have been learning are:

- Estimate the reasonableness of large problems like 1 788 – 891. Could 497 be right?

- Use multiplication to solve addition and subtraction problems eg.

  64 – 48 = as (8 x 8) – (6 x 8) = 2 x 8= 16

- Use doubling / halving, trebling/ thirding and adjusting to solve multiplication problems,

 eg.  12 x 50 solved as 4 x 150= 600

- Use an algorithm to solve multiplication problems.

- Solve problems using simple cube numbers .

- Use an algorithm to solve division problems.

- Use standard written form of addition.

Here is a link to my Multiplicative Strategies Assessment which shows that I know why and how I use particular strategies. This doc also has screenshots to show which IXL activities I have completed as part of my learning. Multiplicative strategies Assessment

My next step in my Maths Learning is……I understand addition and subtraction of fractions, decimals, and integers Number.

WALT: I can recognize and understand the features and structures of a wide variety of text types and forms.

WALT: I can recognize and understand the features and structures of a wide variety of text types and forms.

The text types that we studied were:
Poems.
Stories/ narratives.
Articles
Websites

Each text type has different structures and features because: All of the texts were different and they were written by different people, and different people would have different ideas.


Two text types that I have enjoyed learning about are        Features of websites          and       Articles.

  

My CARE Progress.

I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.

I am proud of my progress/ I am doing ok / I feel I could do much better.

(Highlight the one that applies to you and delete the ones that don’t)

Give reasons for the answer that you have highlighted above,

How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE/SILVER?

The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E , because I have the least ticks then the most of the other ones. ( Highlight the ones that apply to you and give reasons why you have highlighted them.)

To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to………. Log my ticks faster so I don't forget what ticks I got.

The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is………. To get more ticks so I can get my bronze faster.

We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my S.L.C were:

I enjoyed shearing my A writing test because  I was above standard and my parents were very happy with me.

What went well and why?

My slides went really well because not much stuff went badly in my S.L.C.

What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your S.L.C?

A challenge was to speak clearly so they don't ask heaps of questions.

What changes would you make for next time and why?

Next time I would Write more detail so I know what to say faster. So I can have more time to shear my learning.

Visual Art

Visual Art: WALT: Apply knowledge about shapes and patterns derived from nature into an original artwork

For Visual Art the SOLO level I achieved was: Extended abstract, because I used all of the techniques eg water colors, glazing and shading.

I techniques I used in my art work to achieve this level were:
water colors, glazing and shading.

Here is a photo of my artwork:

My next step in visual art is: Is to get better at moving water colors and do a better job.
