Info Report (The Water Cycle)

The Water Cycle

The water cycle is a process that water goes through between land, ocean and atmosphere. There are four steps throughout the cycle, Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and Runoff. There is no start and no end to the cycle. (that's why it's called a cycle.) The water in the water cycle is the same water being re-used and recycled over and over. (like when you recycle things and home.) Throughout the stages the water can change state eg. liquid, solid, gas. 

One of the important steps in the water cycle is Evaporation. Evaporation is and invisible process where the sun heats up the water in rivers, lakes or oceans, then the water turns into a gas. (water vapor.) This process is faster on hotter days because the sun heats up the water faster, so it turns into vapor quicker than usual. After the water vapor goes into the sky it forms into clouds... which is called Condensation.

That was the first two paragraphs of my Information Report about The Water Cycle

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:

The parts of speech.

The types of nouns.

The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging... the task about different types of nouns eg. proper nouns, abstract nouns, common nouns and collective nouns.

Something new I learnt was how much I already knew about the parts of speech and types of sentences.

Use factors, multiples and powers

In Maths we have been learning:

• Divisibility rules up to 10.
• Simple powers to 10 ( including square roots)
• Common factors of numbers to 100, including highest common factor.
• Least common multiples and denominators.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

Here are some IXL screenshots to show evidence of my learning.  

My next learning step in Maths is get a new maths goal and complete it.

Goals for 2015 Term 3 Reflection

1: Get all of my leadership badges
( Merit, Excellence, Distinction )
My first goal is going really well because I have achieved my Merit and Excellence Badge and I am working towards my Distinction.

2: Improve in most topics

I have improved in lots of topics. Like in maths I have completed the number section in my National Standards. I have moved through many maths, reading and writing groups and have learnt many new things.

3: Learn new things

My last goal is to learn new things. I love it in the new year 7&8 learning environment. It has been really awesome meeting all of the new year 8's and the new teachers. 

Goals For 2015 Reflection

Earlier in the year I created a post of my 2015 goals, here is the link.

My first goal is to achieve all my leadership badges, I think I am doing well because I have my Merit Badge and my Excellence, but my teachers still have to check if I have completed all the tasks toward my badge.

My second goal is to improve in most topics. I've done well with that goal because I've moved up math's goals a few times and and I only have one thing to complete in maths in my 'National Standards Spreadsheet'.

My last goal is to learn new things. So wow I have learnt so much this year in the 7&8s, I love it!

My Reflection of my Three Chosen Goals from the Start of the Year.

Hi guys. If you click this link you will be able to see my learning goals from the start of the year. This is my reflection of those goals.

I think I am doing pretty well with my learning goals so far. My first goal is to get all of my badges ( merit, excellence and distinction. I have my merit badge and have started working towards my excellence.

My second goal is to improve in most topics, I have done heaps with that. I have got a new reading group and changed maths groups and have only got two more things to tick off on my National Standards in numbers (maths).

My third goal is to learn new things. I have learnt so many things this term in year 7/8. I have learnt them through reading texts in reading breakouts, I have also learnt them in my math follow ups. I have learnt new styles of writing and how and why to use them. 

I can't wait to reach all my goals!

Goals for 2015
