Once there was a guy from Welly 

Who had a really big belly 

He ate a curry

Pooped in a hurry 

And now he is really smelly

Water Cycle Explanation Writing

How does the Water Cycle Work

I am learning to inform my audience through an explanation

By Xavier P

When you go to get a drink of water you could be drinking water a dinosaur had a bath in millions of years ago. This is all because of the water cycle. A cycle is a series of steps that repeats itself over and over again. The earth's water is 97 percent salt water leaving 3 percent to be fresh water and of that fresh water 1 percent is drinkable. The water cycle has three main steps which are evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

One of the first stages of the water cycle is evaporation. There are lots of examples of evaporation like a kettle boiling. When the kettle boils you’ll see steam coming out the top. When you stop seeing that gas it has turned into water vapour. Evaporation with the water cycle follows the same process. However the sun is used as the heat source. The sun heats up the water so all the atoms are heating up and getting there boogie on, till they eventually turn to water vapour which floats up into the atmosphere and condenses.

The second stage of the water cycle is condensation. An example is on a hot day when the sun is shining you can often see on a can of coke with water droplets on the outside of the can, this is condensation. The cold can surface has connected with water vapour in the air, forcing the water to cool down and condense on the side of the can in the form of water droplets. When we look at condensation in the water cycle it is where the water vapor in the clouds cools down and turns back into water. The water in the cloud starts to bounce around and the water droplets connect together until they are too heavy and that leads us into precipitation.

Last but not least is Precipitation. Precipitation is the release of water from the sky, it can be liquid or solid, for example, rain, sleet, hail and snow. Rain begins when small droplets of water join together in the clouds until they become too heavy and gravity pulls them down to earth into a collection of water like a lake, ocean or river.

As you can see when all three of the stages in the water cycle evaporation, condensation and precipitation all join up they create the water cycle. After each stage has completed their process that is when the cycle is completed and it all starts over again in a never ending loop. That is how the earth still contains all the water there was since the beginning of time.

My Accident Story

The Day I Flew 

February 2019 

By: Xavier P. 

I am learning to: entertain my audience through a recount 

A long time ago in a mystical land of bounciness, there was me Xavier bouncing on a trampoline. Feeling that I was cool doing all my magical tricks and flips. Then the evil wizard, Hugo (my cousin) entered the arena. Once he entered the trampoline that is when the trouble started. See Hugo could bounce higher than me, pull off coolier tricks than me and also double bounce. Hugo entered the arena and then the double bouncing began...

At that very moment with every double bounce I felt like I was flying, flying like a bird but that feeling didn’t last long. In a blink of an eye, I was now flying over the net, flying out onto the ground. SMACK! I was on the ground screaming in pain, with a broken arm, snapped through the middle and a fractured leg.

My mum rushed me off to the A&E with me in pain from here to christmas. I had a cast on my leg for the rest of summer and another cast on my arm till midway of the first school term. It was hard to have a bath because I had to put on a cast protector for my legs and keep my arm out of the water, but it was alright because I got to play on my ipad lots and got to do lot of fun stuff. But I promise you that is the last time I take flying lessons from Hugo.

Comics

Last week we made comics. The thing I liked most was drawing the comic because I am good at drawing and because it is fun drawing. Mine is about Mr Waffle. He's basically just a waffle who gets eaten by ducks and then gets healed and fights a ninja. This is my comic.

Persuasive Writing

WALT: we are learning to write a persuasive piece.

Pokemon Go is a game that people catch Pokemon which are little monsters that they catch and hatch to go into battles with other people and Pokemon trainers.


Firstly, Pokemon Go is very dangerous! People get kidnapped while playing Pokemon go also people walk on the road just to catch one Pokemon when they could get squashed or walk of a cliff and Die. Two men in their early twenties who fell an estimate of 50 to 90 feet down a cliff in Encinitas California on a Wednesday afternoon while playing Pokemon go.

Another problem is it’s very addictive so they will start to forget their responsibilities so they will stop eating well and forget to feed their pet and lack of sleep. So they will die because they forget about all these things.

Thirdly, you can also spend lots of money just for things you don’t need like hatching more eggs. So you will spend all your money so you will go broke then you can’t spend money on food or water then you can’t pay your power and water bill then you can’t look after kids then you’ll be kicked out of house and live on the street then you will die because of lack of food and water.

In conclusion Pokemon go should be band so people won't fall of a cliff, spend all there money or there eyes go square. So people should stop playing this instant and do other things like play outside or anything you can imagine of.

How a Microwave Works

WALT: write an explanation of how something works

Some of you might be thinking how does a microwave work? Well I am going to explain to you how one works.

Firstly a microwave has three main components a magnetron, waveguide and a food chamber without these three components your microwave won’t work.

When you put your food in the microwave and press the timer button you will not see them but there are heat ray that are cooking your food that you don’t even know their there.

Remember never put metal in a microwave because when the waves hit the metal and they get reflected coursing problems.

The reflected waves get absorbed and start flying all around the place and when they hit the metal it starts cracking it coursing the microwave to malfunction and explode so remember never put metal in a microwave.

I hope you learnt something about microwaves.

Ode Poem

This is called an Ode poem. We have been doing these for the last two days. They are normally about everyday items that we like. These are fun poems because they are about random items that you see every day.

To Puffer Jacket.                               
You're as soft as my pillow.
You're as warm as a heat pump.
You're a blanket with sleeves.
You put your snugly sleeves around me.
Oh how I love you, Puffer Jacket!



                                                                                       

The Bach

The Bach

The Bach was usual enough:

It had

Four streets, a beach, a farm nearby,

kids playing  scootering up and down the path

Me and my cousin wandered down to the beach

boogie boarding on the waves and dozing in the hot sun, making massive sand castles

Dogging sand balls, swimming  like fish in the sea.

Eating our melting  ice-cream and ice-blocks, going home and having dinner

doing nothing important.

How a microwave works.

WALT: Write an explanation of how a household object works.

Some of you might be thinking how does a microwave work? Well I am going to explain to you how one works.

Firstly a microwave has three main components: a magnetron, wave guide and a food chamber. Without these three components your microwave won’t work.

When you put your food in the microwave and press the timer button you will not see them but there are heat rays that are cooking your food that you don’t even know are there. A microwave cooks your food twice as fast and twice as fast as a normal oven and it will save you twice as much energy.

Remember never put metal in a microwave because when the waves hit the metal they get reflected which causes problems.
The reflected waves get absorbed and start flying all around the place and when they hit the metal it starts cracking it. This causes the microwave to malfunction and explode so remember never put metal in a microwave.

I hope you learnt something about microwaves from reading my explanation. 

Senses poem

This is a senses poem about the storm in Auckland.

The Storm!!!

I see the lightning strike the town multiple times.

I hear the thunder rolling and glass shattering all over the floor.

I smell the burnt mince coming from the pan.

I taste the crispy shell of my taco crunch in my mouth.

I touch the cold dark chocolate in my ice-cream dripping on my hand as it melts.

It makes me feel exited.
