Week Ending 28/04/17

On our final week in Year Three we have undertaken a project to teach others about the Water Cycle. For this, we are doing two things: we have started to build a model of the Water Cycle system and on our assembly (the last one for this term) we will be in front of the school describing the process of the Water Cycle system to the school.

Our first job was to go on a field trip around Onegino. On our trip, we were set the task to look for what is in the Water Cycle system around where we come to school. Here is what we found:

A good example of surface water:

We took notes on our walk so not to forget what we saw:

At Onegino's lake, we saw a great example of surface water:

We went on the hunt for examples of surface water, percolation and possible signs of surface runoff.

This  ground is a perfect example of saturation and percolation.

After this we started to write our notes so we could then use these notes for creating our A4 diagrams to explain to our school the Water Cycle process. We would use these diagrams in our lecture to explain to everyone the various parts of the Water Cycle. However, we did not take notes into this lecture as we knew what we were talking about! Here are some of our diagrams we used:

We've been so excited and driven with our knowledge of the Water Cycle, that when we return we are going to make a model of the Water Cycle to both further our education and teaching others about this wonder, natural phenomena.

This term has been a jam-packed one and we're now looking forward to seeing the world, or, staying at home with our families. Mr Ieuan and Mr Chris wish you a happy holiday.
