In Science, the Year 7/8s have been learning about the water cycle and how it applies to Canterbury's waterways. 

Mr. Muller gave the Year 7/8s a challenge of writing an impromptu sentence that uses the key vocabulary of the water cycle. Katie went one step further, she created a poem.

As I wipe the condensation off the class

I see the precipitation come down fast

The droplets run down the stem of grass

Just like the runoff from the hills above

The water in filters to the ground water surface

Then is purified in the aquifer to serve its purpose

Then the sun comes out to evaporate it all up

But there won't be a drought because we're in luck

It will come back down in rain snow or sleet

Then the sun will come back out and give more heat
