what are the 4 processe of a water cycle?

Today we did writing on water cycle.

What are the 4 processes of a water cycle?
Introduction
Mainly, there are 4 processes of a water cycle. Water cycle is important. Water cycle also follows the stage of solid, liquid and gas. This processes still  goes on it never ends.

Main body
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection are the 4 processes of the water cycle. Evaporation is the first stage followed by condensation than precipitation and than collection.

What is evaporation? The process where rain gets collected. How does evaporation work? The sun dries the water from the ground, oceans, river, lake after raining. The water after the process of evaporation is called vapour. The vapour stays in clouds.

What is condensation? A process where vapour cools and goes to the process of rain making. How does condensation work? water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

What is precipitation? It can be rain, snow, sleet or hail that falls to or condenses on the ground. It is mostly known as rain. How does precipitation work? Over time, the clouds become heavy because those cooled water particles have turned into water droplets. When the clouds become extremely heavy with water droplets, the water falls back to earth through precipitation

What is collection? This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water. The water cycle is powered by the sun's energy and by gravity.

The water cycle goes on and on again. It is a unstoppable processes.

Some reflective question:
  1. What I did well? I think I did my writing in order which it was suppose to be.
  2. What I could do better for next time? I think I can do my introduction better for next time.
  3. What I need more help with? I think I  need more help in writing my ending.

A trip To The Budha's Temple

It was Tuesday the 22nd of May, when we went to the Buddha's temple. We as a year 8 went to the Buddha’s temple. We learned and did lots of things. We were doing a programme called 3G4G. 3G means three(3) goodness. We said the slogan. The slogan was “3G4G in action”.

 The three(3) goodness are: 1. Say good words 2. Think good thoughts 3. Do good deeds. The 4G means four(4) givings. The four(4) givings are: 1. Give confidence 2. Give joy 3. Give hope 4. Give convenience. There were two(2) groups. The first group was group one(1) and the other one was group two(2). I was in group one(1).

 Firstly, we went to the art gallery. We were shown the arts people of New Zealand made. We were also explained how can become an artist and exhibit your painting in an art gallery.

 Secondly, we got water tattoos on our hands. There were different types of tattoos. I got a tattoo that said the three(3) goodness. Everyone got water tattoos. We also took photos showing our tattoos. 

Thirdly, we made the Buddha’s traditional flowers. The traditional flowers are called lotus flower. We were told to put in on our or wear it on our wrist. We also bathed the Buddha. We took three scoops of water and poured it on the Buddha say the 3 goddesses.

 lastly , we were taken to the main shrine. We did some medicating before the New Zealand police came and talked to us about 3G4G and our school values. Overall I enjoyed our trip to The Buddha’s Temple and I recommend you should go too.

musics

Today in music we did some researches on Matariki. Here is what I found on about Matariki: Ranginui was the father's name and Papatuanuku was the mother. They had children. One of the sons' was Tane Mahuta and the other one was Tawhiri. The children were growing and wanted some space to move out. They wanted to separate their parents and wanted to be freed.

One day Tane Mahuta tried to separate their parents apart and he finally did it. Ranginui was so sad that he started. Tawhiri was also sad, but his tears' became light. He threw his tears' in heaven and the tears' became stars since then it is known as Matariki. Here is a video to explain you.
