We have been learning about the importance of water in our class. Our reader had a chapter on water where

we read about the water cycle.

Page 3: Rang 3/Rang 4

I’m just a little drop of water with a really big job. There is a big long routine that always seems to happen. We go up really, really high although no one seems to see me. I always wonder why they

can’t? It feels like I’m on an aeroplane. We all move over to a big white fluffy thing (that’s where

I meet my friends.) “Woohoo” that’s me falling from the sky. It’s really, really, really fun. We end up on a big hill and fall from it is like a giant slide. Though sometimes I land somewhere else like in a

jar or in a bath maybe even a sewer. But no matter where I land, the routine always seems to

happen and never changes. I’m just a little drop of water with a really big job.

By: Aoife Queally

We wrote creative stories following the life of a drop of water.

When the sun shines on mein the ocean and the sea

When the vapour grows, the clod gets heavy

When I’m in the clouds with friends in a crowd

Eventually the wind blows, then we fall down in a flow

We go through the lakes, slipping like snakes

Down to the ground we go, putting on a big show.

Now I landed in a gutter, down we go in a huge flutter

Right now, we’re flowing from the shower, washing somebody’s hairWe’re gone down the drain into

thin airBut yay! Happy days again, back

to normal with my best friends . . .

By Adam Moynihan

Hi my name is Cian the rain drop. I’m going into the

clouds. Now the sun made me fall. I fell in the sewers. I’m travelling to a river. This leads to the

ocean. I turned to a piece of salty water now. The

sun is shining here in the Atlantic ocean. I’m going up again . When I fell I

froze and turned to snow. As I hit the ocean I met a pipe. You can drink me now. I can make you healthy and strong.

I am in the sea. I feel like I am going up to the cloud above. Oh wait, I am! I see loads of

people on the beach playing and swimming. Hello again I am now inside a cloud it is very

cold. I am made a few friends now. I am dropping as rain. Weehee! I am now in a sewer. I see light and am now out of the sewer. Hey, this looks familiar. This is the

beach I started out at. Here we go again . . .

We are the ‘Dripper Dropper Stoppers.’This is very important as it means we are responsible for making sure there are no

leaks or dripping taps in the school.

Page 7: Rang 3/Rang 4

We regularly check the EIGHTEEN taps in the school, making sure everyone

has followed the Green Code –

Turn off the tap and Give yourself a Clap!

Using water to create a wet-on-wet technique we created

beautiful flower prints.

Page 9: Rang 3/Rang 4

We also created penguins floating on icebergs in the water

In Geography, we are learning about rocks and soil. We are learning about the effects of

weathering and are conducting an experiment at the moment where we are submerging a selection of rocks in water,

freezing them, thawing them freezing them, thawing them, freezing them, thawing

them . . . (you get the picture)

Page 11: Rang 3/Rang 4

Rocks are broken down in all sorts of ways - by wind, rain and rivers. But they are also

broken apart by freezing and thawing. When water freezes, it expands. Water that has seeped into a rock will expand when frozen, causing cracks in the rock. After it freezes and thaws several times, bits of rock will begin to split off entirely.

Page 12: Rang 3/Rang 4

Weathering is a long process so we will have to keep you updated on the results!

Why not make a prediction and we will let you know what we discover.

Do you think slate, granite or limestone will be effected the most??

In science, we made film

canister rockets using water, alka seltzer tablets, baking powder

and effervecsent tablets. Then we held an altitude contest to see which rockets

few the highest.

We separate

the rubbish in our

classroom. We are this

weeks ‘Litter Award

Winners’

Page 15: Rang 3/Rang 4

As well as saving and conserving water in the

school, we re-read Guzzlers book on energy and looked at different

ways of saving energy in the school and at home

Page 16: Rang 3/Rang 4

Our class is very energy efficient

and always turns off the lights when they are not being

used

Page 17: Rang 3/Rang 4

We re-used our water bottles as stamps to

create Cherry blossoms
