I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.
For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning quite easy because it was easy to understand what an adverbial clause is.
In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had to add the adverbial clause to the sentence so the sentence makes sense.

Information Report
This is my information report on the water cycle.
The water cycle is the cycle that water goes through. It is also known as the hydrologic cycle. The water is recycled and there is no new water created and no water is lost in the process. The water changes state as a liquid, solid and gas. There are four steps in the water cycle and the four steps are: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff.
Evaporation
Evaporation is an invisible process where the water from oceans, lakes and rivers rises into the atmosphere as a gas. On hotter days the process of evaporation is greater, because the sun’s energy breaks the bonds that hold the liquid water molecules together. Water vapor in the air is known as humidity, in some hot places there is more humidity. After the water turns into a gas, the water rises into the atmosphere and forms clouds. This step is called condensation.
Condensation
Condensation is when the water vapor collides with the dust in the air and then the clouds are formed. In the atmosphere, cooler temperatures cause the water vapor to condense (water vapor turning back to a liquid). Colder air can contain less water vapor than warmer air, so the warm air rises to where the temperatures a much cooler, that is how condensation happens. Then the clouds get too heavy and the water in the clouds comes down as rain, hail, snow etc.
Precipitation
Precipitation is the stage where the clouds get too heavy and the water inside the cloud comes down as rain, hail, snow etc. In some places there is less precipitation and in others there may be more precipitation. As the water comes down it goes through a process called infiltration when the water infiltrates into the ground. After the water infiltrates into the ground it goes to the plants. The water that doesn’t go into the ground goes to the ocean, lakes and rivers. The water that lands in the rivers goes back the oceans and lakes, this step is called runoff.
Runoff
This is the process when the water from precipitation goes back to the ocean, lakes and rivers. The water flows through rivers back to the ocean. It’s like water running down on your driveway. It also goes under the ground and back to the ocean, this is called the groundwater flow and it comes out of vents that are in the oceans.
After the water goes back to oceans, lakes and rivers the process is repeated and repeated and repeated. There is no new water is created, it is the same water used by your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents.

WALT: relate tables, graphs, and equations to linear and simple quadratic relationships found in number and spatial patterns.
Assessment Task: A car rental business has two rental schemes, red and blue for rentals up to ten days. These schemes are advertised in their brochures with this graph.
Use the following information to work out how many days of rental would carry the same total cost on either the blue or the red scheme (show your working).
The area under the graph gives the total cost of renting.
The schemes each follow a linear pattern, cutting the vertical axis at 120 and 170.
Both blue and red schemes cost $110 on the 4th day of rental.
The cost was the same on the forth day.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns
In this unit I have been learning about:
The parts of speech.
The types of nouns.
The types of sentences.
In this unit, I found challenging finding whether a sentence was a statement, question, exclamation or a command.
Something new I learnt was that a sentence can be a statement, question, exclamation or a command.

Excellence Can Do 2
1 August 2016
Excellence Evidence for: Student Leader
Today we had a leadership meeting. We talked about who was going to do the flags this term. Then we got with our buddy and we talked about how our action plans were going so far. Sam and I said that we couldn't do much because we are running the event at the end of Term 4. The meeting was short. I showed Community by contributing to the discussions and I showed leadership by contributing to the whole group about what we talked about in our pairs.

My CARE Progress
I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.
I am proud of my progress/ I am doing ok/ I feel I could do much better.
(Highlight the one that applies to you and delete the ones that don’t)
Give reasons for the answer that you have highlighted above.
I have received my Bronze award.
How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE/SILVER?
I still have a lot to go until my Silver award.
The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E because I don't have many ticks in Community.
To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to record my ticks when I get them, and not to record heaps at the same time.
The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is to have a focus every week.
We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.
