My Water Cycle Lantern!

For the last couple of weeks Room 11 has been doing Water Cycle Lanterns for writing. This is when we get 4 circles and on each circle we do a different topic on The Water Cycle. One circle is for an explanation of the water cycle and another one is for an illustration of the water cycle. The last two are for the meaning of the 4 main stages of a water cycle and a text about the different type of clouds. Here is my completed water cycle lantern!
