Where Does Water Come From and Where Does It Go?
Water will stay on Earth forever, no matter what happens it will always be there. The
water cycle never ends. It is called a water cycle because it is a cycle and it is about
water.
As you know, water helps plants. It also rains more in hot places, that is why rain
forests are called the rain forest. It is very warm there. Things thrive on water, so do
we. Nearly half of our body is filled with water. We need it to survive. If our water is
bad we could die. We pollute water.
The water that falls to Earth goes to the lowest level, to the sea. The sun heats up the
water and it goes up in the air. It falls down and goes round again.
Water is a solid, a gas and a liquid. The water cycle never ends, and it is very
important.

4. As well as fractions, Room 2 have been learning about volume and capacity in maths this
term. They experimented with measuring out ingredients to make their own cereal recipe.

5. Hundertwasser style sea-scape

7. Room 2 have been learning to create a picture in the reader's mind by using descriptive
language. To fit in with our topic in Term 2, Ayla has written about The Sea.
The Sea
At every crash all of the bubbly bubbles
spread out on the surface and every crash
was like a hurricane. The wet wild waves
were very violent. The waves went fast and
the rest of the sea was still fast, like it was
running. The water was as blue as the sky.
The angry sea was clashing and the fluffy
foam was as white as a brand new
whiteboard.
