As part of our topic, we have been learning about the water cycle. There are lots of technical vocabulary words for us to learn such as:
Condensation
Evaporation
Precipitation
To help us to learn and remember this new information, we have been learning a song. This week we are going to teach this song to the rest of the school!
Here is the link to the video and the lyrics for you to practise at home.
Somewhere, out there, the sun shining on a little puddle, that’s just part of something we call, The Water Cycle.
Water from the little puddle turns to gas, EVAPORATION
The gas forms into puffy clouds, CONDENSATION
The clouds get heavy and the rain pours down, PRECIPITATION
And more puddles on the ground
Oh the water cycle round and round vapour goes up and the rain comes down water in the sky, in the ocean, in the ground It’s all in a cycle going round and round.
Some clouds look like a horse’s tail, that’s cirrus (cirrus!)
Some clouds look like cauliflower, that’s cumulus (cumulus!)
Some clouds look like a blanket of grey, that’s stratus (stratus!)
There are high clouds, low clouds, and in between clouds fog on the ground is also rarely seen clouds Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh the water cycle round and round vapour goes up and the rain comes down water in a river, in a glass, in a cloud, It’s all in a cycle going round and round.
When warm air meets cold air trouble brews that could mean a storm and that’s bad news, A hurricane can form when that happens near warm water Look out if that storm reaches land. Get out of the way, grab your sons and daughters. Crash! Bash! Boom! And Kabam Oh no! We forgot uncle… Dan
I’m ok, I’m alright, I was just hiding in the garbage can. He was hiding in the garbage can!
Oh the water cycle round and round vapour goes up and the rain comes down water in a person, in a well deep down it’s all in a cycle going round and round.
