Where does water comes from? First its at the ocean. And then the sun drys the water. Then it goes to the mountains. Then it goes to the river. Then it goes out to the sea. and the hot sun dry the rain because the sun is hotter then the rain. In an tsunami if your house is feather away from the beach, it will be okay, but if your house was on the beach, it will get blown down.

 Ebony says: I can see how you have improved and added to your explanation each time Tane, well done? Do you think the sun dries the rain or the heat from the sun turns the water into a vapour?

Final Comments

Ebony's Comment:
The Digi-nauts have had a fantastic term full of many great experiences to start the year off well. Swimming Sports and Buddy Challenge Day were some highlights. Our focus this term has been around building positive relationships with others. This included how the children interacted in the classroom, and creating some rules as a class that would ensure we have a positive learning space.  Starting individual blogs has also been a big part of learning about themselves as learners. Following instructions and self management has been really important to create a successful blog or e-portfolio.  You might ask your child how well they think they did with this. All the children can be proud of the persistence shown with this and support they have given one another to post, upload photos and embed codes. We look forward to sharing our learning with you.

Tane you are fantastic at following instructions and managing your learning independently. It is great that you know when to ask for help and you feel confident to do this now. You can be proud of how much effort you put into a task. Great work, keep it up!

In the weekend I saw Sophie W at  Lazer Tag. I went to Lazer Tag because It was Jack's Birthday. Sophie's Brother Jack turn 6 years old. I got 780 points. After that we went to Mcdonalds. I got a Happy meal. I got a burger chips and coke. When we finshed, we got some ice-cream. There were 6 people. With my happy meal, I got a Panda book. When the party was finshed, I ate my ice-cream at home. It was yummy! Sophie's Brother Jack is from Russell Street School. When my mum and my sister picked me up, my sister got an ice-cream too. Then my sister did not want an ice-cream because she wanted Mcdonalds too.
