The children, as I am sure are all aware, were extremely excited to find snow in their gardens last week.  This has prompted a mini science topic on ice.  The children have been experiementing with large blocks of ice, many of which have toys hidden deep within the ice.  The children have been trying out a variety of strategies, mainly smashing, to get the toys out.  They have been using words like ‘melting, freezing, cold’.

You could develop this new interest at home by involving your child in the freezing or defrosting of food,  or  by looking for ice and frost in the garden or on the car.  Please send in any photographs of your child doing this for our ‘Look at me learning at home’ wall.
