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 Here is a link what we made. 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 meet this criteria because... it was strong,long lasting,works in all areas,produces drinkable water and we had the right materials.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are, thinking on the spot and making it funny Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practice at are being quick at thinking what to do quick. The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was learning all the improve games because i enjoyed them. The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was preforming in front of people that are not my friends because i front like doing things in front of others My favorite improvisation game was sell this thing because it was really funny. My next step/ something I need to work on further  in improvisation is thinking quick because it took me ages to think of it.

I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts. For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses.

I showed excellence by being as quiet as I could in the transitions. I showed leadership by trying my best in the performance.

THE WATER CYCLE INTRODUCTION T he water cycle is a process where water goes through key stages . E.g evaporation , condensation , precipitation , runoff and Groundwater . There is no start or end to this process , this water has been recycled from around 4 billion years ago . EVAPORATION Evaporation is where the sun heats up the water and turns it into vapour . This process is an invisible process you cannot see this happening , usually . Do you know that plants and trees can also lose water into the atmosphere , through their leaves this process is known as Transpiration . Two of the next steps are Condensation and Precipitation . CONDENSATION Condensation is where vapour rises into the air , it cools and turns back into a liquid , forming clouds . The currents high up in the air move the clouds from place to place all around the world . The next step is precipitation . PRECIPITATION W hen too much water has condensed it becomes too
