The Water Cycle

By the children of 2R


A little drop of water was in a tiny stream
high up in the mountains.



The little drop of water tumbled down a waterfall.



The little drop of water was caught up by a great big dam and stayed there many days.



Suddenly it was swept along and down into a turbine. Round and round the turbine went - making electricity.

The little drop of water went racing down the river and landed in the ocean.
The sun shone down and made it hot and turned it into vapour.


The evaporated water went up and made a cloud.



The cloud grew big and floated up to where the air was colder.
The cold air made the vapour turn into a drop of rain.

The rain fell down and gave the flowers a welcome drink of water.


But some of it went through the streams and into pipes and hoses.
So the little drop of water was used to wash a car.

The falling rain was rushing down along the drains and gutters. The little drop that washed a car was now in gutters too and soon the drains joined stormwater pipes that emptied into the river.

The little drop of water went racing down the river and landed in the ocean.
The sun shone down and made it hot and turned it into vapour.


The evaporated water went up and made a cloud that rained upon the mountain. The mountain stream went rushing down ... and the cycle never ended. . . .
