Waterways information report

This is my waterways information report.
Where I have highlited that shows punchuation.

Water Cycle is a process that water goes through between land, sea and atmosphere. The water is recycled around, you don’t get new water. The water changes state throughout the process into gas, solid, liquid and can change back. The steps of the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff-groundwater.

Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams, into a gas. When the water vapor is in the air it is called humidity. Water evaporates more when it’s hot, that’s why it’s more humored in hot places. Evaporation is an invisible process. After the water turns into a gas it goes into the atmosphere, it forms clouds which is condensation.

Condensation is the gas and dust forming the clouds. Precipitation is when it gets cold by the clouds and it starts to rain, sleet, hail or snow. Condensation happens because of the temperature changing. The air is full of water, but you don’t see it unless it rains,sleets,hails or snows. The warmer the air is the more water vapor there is and if the air is colder there will be less water vapor. After the clouds form and precipitation happens the water runs off.

Runoff is when the water goes into lakes, rivers etc from the mountains or other places. The water can also sink into the ground which is called groundwater. If you pour water onto the ground it will sink in. Groundwater serves many purposes in nature: keeping plants alive, keeping your grass green; it serves lots of purposes to people as we use water for cooking, drinking, washing dishes and more. The water underground moves due to gravity.

These are the steps of the water cycle. Evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff-groundwater. The water cycle also known as hydrologic cycle and is an endless process,  there is no start and no end. The water cycle is happening all around us all the time and is an essential part of life.

Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were sharing my writing asttle because I got good scores in my writing test.



What went well and why? Explaining what the asttle scores meant because I said how many numbers had to be next to the goal to sign it off on national standard and that you have to get a certain overall score to sign anything off.


What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC? I was challenged by when I was putting my SLC slide together by trying to find all the things I needed to link.


What changes would you make for next time and why? Write some side notes

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is that the problem happens really early in the story.

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are to not make the story to long and to make the problem happen early in the story.

Exposition Writing

Here is my conclusion from my exposition. We had to write it about to leaders and compare them. Then, we had to say which leader we thought was the better leader.


My opinion is that Irene Van Dyk is a better leader because she always supports her team even when they are not doing that well. She is  an amazing netballer and has never got a yellow card, but Richie McCaw has.Irene Van Dyk is also part of the tall poppy program. That is why I think Irene Van Dyk is the better leader.
