Process of the water cycle.

This term, in our class, We were learning about the water cycle. 
Here is a visual process of it.

Mass Failure.

 This term, we have been researching and reviewing facts about water.

After we learnt all the info we needed, mesui and I did a puppet show to show our knowledge.

Here is the script.

What is Mass Failure and how does  it affect quality of the river


ALICE(SANDY):

 So, what are we learning today, Frank?

MESUI(FRANK):

We are learning about…Mass failure.

ALICE: 

What do you know about Mass failure, Frank?

MESUI(FRANK):

 Mass failure is when the bank falls and tumbles into the river. It affects the water quality and shape. 

ALICE(SANDY): 

But, why is it so importa-

ALICE(REBECCA): 

Hey guys! What are we talking about?

MESUI(FRANK): 

Mass failure.

ALICE(REBECCA):

 Can I join?

ALICE(SANDY):

 Yeah, I need to do something else, my apologies, Bye Frank! Bye Becka!

MESUI(FRANK):

Bye! So, Rebecca, we’re just looking at websites for info.

Hey, I found something! ‘What causes streambank erosion?’ It says this: Mass failure(which includes bank collapse and slumping) is where large chunks of bank material become unstable and topple into the stream or river. That is how it affects the shape of the river.

ALICE(REBECCA): 

That was a very good website, lots of information, and easy to understand, although I am still wondering, what does Mass failure have to do with the quality though?

MESUI(FRANK):

The contents of the sediment carried in the bank material can add dirtiness and bacteria into the river. 

Get it now?

ALICE(REBECCA):

Sediment? Isn't that like dirt, rocks and other stuff

MESUI(FRANK):

Thats a simpler way of putting it.

ALICE(REBECCA):

I guess you could say we’ve hit rock bottom ay?

MESUI(SARCASTIC FRANK):
Haha… so funny…

ALICE(SANDY):

Hey, I’m back. Rebecca, your sister wants you.

What were we talking about again?

Right, mass failure.

TELL ME MORE.

MESUI(FRANK):

Hey, calm ya farm! 

I dont know everything about mass failure, but he does… Say hello to Harold! If theres any extra info that you would like to know about mass failure, I bet ya that Harold would know about it,

also, bye Beck!

ALICE(REBECCA):

Bye!

ALICE(SANDY):

Bye Rebecca!

MESUI(HAROLD THE GIRAFFE) Pretend he has a lisp:

Mass failure, huh?

Well, I’ll make sure you know everything about it.

Before we start, What are we talking about?

How it affects the quality of the river, or how it occurs, what?
