I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury


I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury


In this project I was working with Natasha and we decided to create a water filter.




In this project we decided that our success criteria were:
A good water filter needs...
Why is this important?
The right materials for the job
So we can make a good water filter.
Needs  to produce drinkable water
Because if the water wasn’t drinkable you would get sick if you drank it.
Needs to be strong
So it doesn't break and it can carry all the water and rocks inside it.
Needs to last for as long as possible
Because the water filter would be useless if it only worked for one lot of water.
Needs to work in all areas
Other wise you would have to leave it in the same area and you might need it somewhere else
Overall our project met/do not meet this criteria because...It was strong, long lasting, it works in all areas (portable), produces drinkable water and we had all the right materials.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning mostly easy but a little bit hard because I feel that I knew a lot about the topic.

In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had to find the adverbial clause in the sentence.

Infomation report

Water Cycle

The water cycle is a process that goes between land sea and atmosphere. The water cycle  changes state in the process into gas, liquid and solid. The steps in the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff/groundwater.

One very important part of the water cycle is evaporation. Evaporation is when the sun draws up water to the sky and then turns into a gas and as we know a cloud. The water cycle is an invisible process so when the sun draws up water you can't see it. On hot days more water gets evapt because the hotter the sun the more water gets draw up to the sky and turned into a gas. When warm air with lots of water vapour in it moves into a colder place it causes the water vapour to turn into water which we know as rain. The steps in the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff/groundwater but the all need each other.

Condensation is when the water vapour is stuck outside in the cold and can't get drawn up to the sky so it tries to get inside where it is warm and that is condensation we see on our windows. And precipitation is when it rains, when the evaporation water/gas gets too full and starts falling and when it gets closer to the ground it turns into water and when it's higher up it might turn into snow or ice, because it's colder up. After condensation/precipitation is runoff/groundwater.

Runoff/groundwater is nothing more than water running off the land surface. Some water soaks into the ground but most goes over the land. Runoff is also important because the water that goes under the ground could water some roots of a tree and keep it from dying and keeping the environment healthy. Once the water that went over the land goes back into the sea this process starts again.

In the water cycle there are 3 key facts about it, number 1 is that water is always recycled we never get new water because when it rain it's from the sea and the sea water is from when it rains! Number 2 is that the water cycle never ends or starts it just keeps going around like a circle. Number 3 is that there are 3 forms in the water cycle liquid, solid and gas. The gas is when it's a cloud in the sky, the liquid is when it's raining or in the sea, and it's a solid if it snows or ice.

Kapa Haka Leadership Excellence 17

On Friday we did Kapa Haka, all of us were pretty nervous because the cultural festival was right around the corner. But the good thing was that a few classes came in and watched us. Firstly some of the Kauri students came in and watched us and the feed back they had was to be louder, so we took that in. Secondly some of the junior students came in and we took the kauri students advice in and did our whole performance louder but the thing is the junior students all covered their ears and thought it was too loud! I showed leadership because I was quite in our transitions and in the gaps we had to wait in. I showed active thinking by handing out the poi because Mr Brown was busy. 

Peer Mediation Excellence 16

Today I did peer mediation and normally I would do it with Jack and Elizabeth but Jack was away, and Elizabeth had a talent show audition so I asked Sophie if she could fill in and she could! Firstly we walked to to the office to get a few pozis to hand out, secondly we walked around the field and lastly we went around the junior area and the courts. I showed leadership because I stepped up and because my group was away I asked Sophie to do it. I showed excellence because when we found a physical argument so we went to a teacher because peer mediators are NOT allowed to deal with physical arguments.

Reading

This is our reading follow up we had to read two articles and write about them then decide witch one YOU thought was best.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fsSSHslcZzO23gze2qMmzauh6gP3V4iVBwsF4XBIRpY/edit

WALT: Apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are, thinking on the spot, and making something up.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practice at is, making my act more enthusiastic.

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was learning all the fun games and doing them and watching others do it because I like a bit of funny moments and stuff.

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was that the audience tells you what to act because this would mean you would NOT Be able to practice.

My favorite improvisation game was family photo because we could chose the setting.


My next step/ something I need to work on further  in improvisation is letting the audience choose what for me to do just like normal improv people do because I could learn what it was actually like.

Peer mediation Can do 10

Today I did peer mediation and it was easy because we didn't have to use the field because it was shut. We solved a couple problems but we couldn't solve them because the i pad is broken. I showed leadership by solving the problems and not just ignoring the little kids that had the little tiny problems. I think I showed active thinking because I remembered my duty.
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


  1. Each text type has different structures and features because: The stories are different genres and if they were the same they would become boring because people like stuff that are different.


  1. Two text types that I have enjoyed learning about are websites and poems

My CARE Progress

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


I am proud of my progress because I have been recording most of my ticks and remembering.

I,m REALLY close to my bronze.


The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E, because it's harder to get ticks on E.

To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to, stay focused on my E.


The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is to try even harder to remember to record them and that should be easy now that I can do it myself.

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

Peer Mediation Can Do 7

Today I did peer mediation and I didn't solve any problems AGAIN! (well not ones we had to record anyway) We walked around EVERYWHERE but especially the junior area because 1. they are cuter, 2. they have more problems and they are more sensitive. I showed respect by not being mean and just saying to bad when someone had a problem. I showed leadership by just doing the job even though I really wanted to play tag with all of my friends.
