IDL: Science – Rapunzel’s Icy Tower

Successful Learners    Effective Contributors

The Moonbeams enjoyed being Scientists this week as they investigated how to build Rapunzel’s Tower with blocks of ice and salt. The children worked together to take turns to place the ice cubes on top of one another making sure it did not fall down. The children then decorated the Tower with colours, glitter and sprinkles. Finally they observed the Tower as it started to melt and fall down. Take a look at our fabulous photos.

Well done to Morgan who kindly donated her hair to MacMillan Cancer Charity this week. She has been growing her hair for a very long time!
