The Water Cycle 

The water cycle is a path which the water follows. The water cycle moves around in a circle 

These are the stages of the water cycle.

Evaporation: the sun heats up the water from the ground and turns into water vapour. Then the water vapour goes up into the air and when the clouds get heavy, it rains and the water drops return back to earth. Then the water cycle starts all over again. The water cycle has been going on for millions of years and it never stops. 

The places where water can be stored are oceans, lakes, seas and rivers.

Why is the Water Cycle important to earth?

The water cycle is important to earth because if the water cycle didn't work any more, all the freshwater in the world would be gone and humans, animals and plants would die. So if there was a fire there would be no water to put fire out. People and animals need lots of water to survive. As a result of having no water, they would die.

So that's why the water cycle is important to earth.

On Monday morning

On Monday morning my Nana felt sick. She felt like she didn't have a voice so the First person she called was her boss and told her that she was going to stay home then she called her two clients and the last person she called was her workmate. Once she got up she had some pills so it would take away the pain but it didn't. Also it was my Mum's appointment. I had to go with my Nana and Mummy and my Papa had to stay home. Then we got ready to go to Kawakawa hospital. My Nana had to take the COVID 19 test just to be safe but then she had to go home straight away so we went to my Mum's appointment. It took so long I had to play with my Mums phone. After that long appointment my Nana had to take the test. It took a bit of time but finally we got there. My Nana had to take the nose swobe. It felt awful. My Nana's reaction was funny. I was laughing hard out. Then we drove back home. When we got home I told my Papa “that my Nana was ticklish when the lady did a nose swobe on her” I asked my “Nanny if she was alright”. My Nana had to Wait 2 days to get her Results. My Nana really wanted to go back to work as soon as possible. When she got her results she was so happy that she was going to tell her boss. She was alright. fianlly i had a shower and then got changed into my nighty and went to bed. I felt happy, safe and lovable.

Recount Writing On Wednesday afternoon

WALT make our writing interesting for our readers.

On Wednesday afternoon me and my papa drove to Whangarei so my papa could get his eyes checked. I thought I had to go with my papa so I asked my papa, “Am I coming with you?” He said, “No, you're going to your uncle's house. When I heard my papa say that I felt so excited. I was about to scream and I was as happy as a clown. When we got to Whangarei my papa dropped me off at my uncle's house. My cousins felt bored but when they saw me they were excited. They wanted to jump on the trampoline. I said, “We are going to jump in the pool after we play on the trampoline.” So first we played on the trampoline. I was jumping high in the sky. I felt so happy I was even giggling. Next we got into the pool but first we had to put on our togs. But I left my bag behind. My papa said he would get my bag but he lied. So I had to get into my cousin's shorts and I had to leave my t-shirt on. It was freezing when I got in the pool. I was about to jump out but I did not feel as cold as ice. Then my cousin said I had to go underwater. I did not want to go underwater. I did not know what my cousin was thinking. That was a crazy idea. But he still told me to do it. He did it, so I had to be brave. I did it but I was freezing cold. I liked going underwater. After that I wanted to get out so I did but then my cousins pulled me back into the pool. It was scary for me. I felt like I was going to drown. My cousins were laughing but I said what if you felt like you were about to drown. Then we all got out. It was cold because we stayed in the pool for about 15 Minutes. Our aunty gave us a towel each so we could get dry. After we got into some warm clothes we had some crackers. They were delicious. I felt as bright as the sun because I felt warm. My cousin Sidney said, “What can we play?” I said, “Let's play with the Scooters and the bikes. All my cousins said yes. Finally my papa came back and said, “Let's go home.” But then my cousins said, “Can we come too?” My papa said, “Of course you can.” I felt happy after our long day. I had a great time.

My letter to my Papa and Nana

 Dear Papa and Nana, 

I'm going to talk about what I have learnt about sound.

First of all sound is energy, like light or electricity. 

Sound vibrations travel in waves by pushing air molecules. You might ask- what are molecules? They are little circles that are in the air you can't see them because they are invisible and they’re all around us. Vibrations can be powerful. The stronger the vibrations,the louder the sound. Sounds are created when something vibrates, sending waves of vibration into the ears.
