We started our new IDL topic looking at water in its different forms. We had lots of fun exploring the snow in the playground.

‘It’s like plasticine – you can make things with it’ – Robin

‘When you hold it tight it melts’ – Finlay

‘If you cover the ice with more snow it takes longer to melt’ – Jacob

‘When the ice melts it turns into water’ – Celeste

‘Crystals help the snow to stick together’ – Robin

When we were inside we made igloos with the blocks.

We came up with lots of ideas of how to explore water, snow and ice as a class. We would like to find out about snowy places, have snowmen in the classroom, find out how ice melts, find out about snowflakes, play with ice, build our own igloo.
