The Wonderful water cycle.



We started our Take Action for Water unit. We focused on Understanding the Water Cycle and describing the movement of water in the water cycle.
We discussed how water forms clouds, how water get from the clouds back down to streams, why the water cycle vital for life on earth?
We also looked at the key stages of the water cycle and how the Maori story of Ranginui and Papatuanuku reflects the water cycle.

This weeks homework is to create a diagram which shows the water cycle in a catchment area.
The children need to label clearly each stage of the cycle and give a brief explanation about the nature of the cycle.
