AFTER THE HURRICANE – Winslow Homer, 1899
Story by: Kieran
His boat is trashed, munted, OBLITERATED!
The boat was tipped over on its side, only the back of the boat can be seen.
The man is alive but only just; his life is fading but there’s a chance…

The Water Cycle

Dinosaur pee?  You could be drinking it!

Water goes around in a cycle called the water cycle. This is how it goes...

Evaporation starts it off.  Evaporation is when water rises off the ground or out of storage, like the ocean, and turns into a cloud (condensation).

Condensation is when water sticks together in a cloud and gets heavier.  The it starts to rain down.

Precipitation is when it rains and when it rains that water gets stored.

Storage is when rain water (or dinosaur pee) gets stored in a lake or ocean or comes to our water tanks.

So that's why you could be drinking dinosaur pee!

Success story

CROSS COUNTRY
BY KIERAN!
“Yes!” I thought as I woke up. “Today’s the day for cross-country.”
Once I got dressed in my uniform I packed an energetic lunch and we went to school. Everyone was hyped for the big race.
We walked over to the club grounds lined up in age groups and waited patiently.
Then it was finally time for our race. We lined up… ready… set… GO! We were off. I slipped back early but was gaining fast.
When we were near the end I said to myself ’’Kieran you need to get moving.”
In the end I came fourteenth but that’s pretty good for me!
