How I worked out the surfs up percentages were I asked myself what is 50% or 10% of that number.

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

The activity I did was Touch.

Two highlights of Koru Games were...

Intro

Water cycle is process that endlessly goes through between land, sea and the atmosphere, it recycle in the process that it goes through. The three stages it goes through during the cycle their liquid, gas and solid.The steps in the water cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and groundwater/runoff.

                                    Evaporation

Evaporation is when the sun heats up the water e.g. on oceans,lakes and rivers, the water into a gas called vapour. For the water cycle to reach the sky from the ground the heat rises it as condensation; evaporation turns the water into a gas called vapour. The sun's heat makes the water rise which turns to condensation. The next stage is condensation/ precipitation.

                        Condensation/ precipitation

Condensation/ precipitation, all air contains water molecules in the form of water, which is invisible. Condensation creates from a heat from the sun. condensation makes the cloud from the gas forming together. Now for runoff and groundwater.

                             Runoff/ groundwater

Runoff/ groundwater, groundwater has a storage unit underground. Did you know that there is always water running below your feet. The water moves because of gravity.

                                         Conclusion

I think that the water cycle is a good way to recycle the water and reuse it, because
