Water Cycle

We are very busy this year working towards our third Green Flag on the theme of ‘Water’.  Fundamental to all our studies on water is an understanding of the water cycle.  Classes  from 1^st – 4^th have been looking at the life cycle of water, and in particular, the important processes of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and collection.

1^st and 2^nd class had great fun exploring, investigating and analysing the different stages of the water cycle through a simple, but effective experiment.

3^rd and 4^th class created a beautiful classroom Water Cycle display – outlining the key stages in the cycle.

Our Green School Notice Board this month was dedicated to facts on the Water Cycle.  Each blue card had a question – asking students to SWAT the correct answer.  Thanks to Conor and Orla in 4^th class for designing the Water Cycle mobiles.  Well done to students in 2^nd class for creating the Water Cycle wheels. They are very effective.
