Water cycle in English and Spanish
This is how the water cycle works. First there is a thing
called Evaporation. Evaporation is when liquid water
turns into water vapour then the water vapour goes into
the air. Next the water vapour hits something cold like a
cloud and it turns back into a liquid, that is called
condensation. The water gathers up into the air and then
it starts to rain, thunder or snow. That is called
precipitation. After that the lakes, ponds, rivers and
streams collect all the water and that is called
collection. Then it starts all over again.
Thomas Hawksley
Thomas Hawksley was a hero in British history because he
created pure, clean water.
Thomas Hawksley was born in Arnold in the year 1807 and died
in 1893 because he suffered from drinking dirty water. He died in
his late 80s
When Thomas Hawksley was born there was no clean water
available and he invented clean water in his early 80s. He created
Papplewick pumping station and became famous for
bringing clean water to the city of Nottingham.
Thomas Hawksley changed history by building a reservoir to
collect and pump clean water.
He also was a great engineer to get his place in this era of
history.
Papplewick pumping station
Papplewick was created by Thomas Hawksley and served clean water in the late
19th century and early 20th century . This changed history with people being able
to drink clean water.

Pond Water
We wanted to investigate how much bacteria we can find in pond
water.
To get pond water, we went to the allotment where there is a small
mini pond. We needed three samples, a digital microscope to see the
pond water very carefully and a thermometer to see what the
temperature of the water was.
First we got the three pond water samples. One was cold water,
warm water and very warm water (Hot). We put a samples in the sun,
fridge and in the classroom to make those samples cold, warm and
very warm.
We tested out the cold water and nothing moved and there was
nothing alive. We tested the warm water and saw nearly 65 to 90
bacteria where some of them were huge and some were small.
We tested the hot water where we put it in the sun, and saw 10
bacteria but some people saw 15 where I did not see them.
Bacteria is in the pond water and if you drank it, you might get sick.
So on our sheet we wrote how many bacteria were in each pond
water sample.
Our results were: Cold pond water: 2 bacteria Warm pond water: 70
bacteria (Average)
Very warm pond water: 15 bacteria.
Finland
In Finland there is so much snow it comes up to 15 cm. It
can be good because they can make big snow men and it’s
good for having a snow fight because it’s that cold they get
white foxes. Also in Finland when it’s winter they can ski
when ever they want. But they can’t play certain sports like
football because the snow is too high. And they cant play
cricket because the snow is too high.
Salva’s Story!
A Long Walk to Water is about a boy called “Salva Dut.” He lived in Sudan and was
from the tribe called “Dinka”. His country was at war and he struggled through a lot in
life with only little water. Salva was one of the “Lost Boys” who travelled to a refugee
camp all the way in Ethiopia. His friend and uncle died that day, Salva thought he was
never going to see his family again.
After days, weeks and months of walking in the sizzling sun, he reached the refugee
camp in Ethiopia! Salva heard from whispers, around the refugee camp,
that his friends were going to go to New York. He had dreamed of going
to New York and getting adopted by a family there. A few days passed and one of
Salva’s friends came to him and said “Your name’s on the list,” “What list, where is it?”
replied Salva, “the list of people who are going to New York.” Salva ran as fast as he
has ever ran,.. he stopped. Salva read the name “Salva Dut,” he was going to
Rochester, New York! Salva was getting ready to go on the plane, he got given quite a
lot of clothes. “What are all these for?” he asked. “It’s snowing in America and you need
warm clothes”. He reached the airport and met his family. A few months after, he
started a charity for Sudan making wells, and getting clean water for a new country. A
quick fact : Salva’s story is 100% TRUE! For more information on his charity, go back

WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Wind in the willows is about four main characters
called Mole , Badger, Toad and Ratty . This book
shows us about these animals habitats.
Toad has a really great adventure.
He is mad about motor cars
He gets in and out of court and prison
He jumps off a train
AND THEN HE STeals A Horse from the barge woman AND A CAR FROM THE
JUDGES
That sends him to prison. Next toad, mole, Badger and ratty get some
armour and scare the weasels away. In the end, toad gets his house
back And he is happy.
Virtual water
Virtual water is in things you can not see .Cows need water to
drink and grass to eat and the grass needs water to grow. That is
why there is 4500 of litres of water needed to produce a steak.
Virtual water is to used to
make things and used to
cook with as well.
This is a table to
show how much
virtual water is in
each product.
Water for south Sudan
Water for south Sudan is a
charity. It helps people get
fresh water. until may 2012
Water for south Sudan had
drilled 177 wells. Many People in
south Sudan don't have clean
water. before the water for
south Sudan Charity they had to
walk miles to collect dirty water
until Salva dut, the founder of
www.waterforsouthsudan.org
water for south Sudan, helped.

Water day
River flow : If you want to measure the flow of a river you can
throw an object in the river and see if it floats or sinks And
see how it goes either fast or slow. in the middle of the river
it goes faster than when it’s at the edge.
Waterfalls :Niagara falls and Angel falls are famous
waterfalls. all of them make a splash pool. This is when
the waterfall creates a huge hole in the earth.
We spent a whole day
investigating different things
about water.

EXPERIMENT OF DISTILLATION
WE Separated Two solids, Sand and salt from a liquid, water . to do this we
filtered The salt water and the sand trough a filter. The salt water went
through and the sand was left.
Next we had to separate the salt from the water we used a candle under a dish
and used a foil dish above to catch the water that evaporated. The salt was
left in the dish and water vapour was in the foil tray. We could now drink the
water.
Thermal Insulators
We did an experiment to find out what is a good thermal insulator. We had four
cups all filled with the same temperature of water and to make it a fare test
we had a control cup and the other three had a different piece of material
around them and over the top. We estimated which material we thought would
be a good insulator and then we left them for an hour. We recorded the
temperature of each cup and then we could see by our results that the tin foil
was the best at insulating.
