We have been loving exploring the snow and ice. We hope you have all had lots of fun outside too. Did anyone build a snowman? I’m going to continue with the ice / outdoor theme.
If we have an icy morning can you take a paint brush or stick outside and a cup of hot water and draw me a picture?
If we get more snow can you add paint / food colouring and paint it to make it all colourful?
Go on an ice hunt and find ways to break it up.
Collect objects from your garden and freeze them inside or out if cold enough. Then explore it. Use predictions skills and investigate how to melt it, break it up and how to free the objects.
Make our own ice paint. Freeze some paint or food colouring in ice cube trays.
Any pictures can be sent to Carrie.hamilton@eastayrshire.org.uk
