The children at Ladywell Nursery have been learning about winter. The children were very curious to find ice outside one morning and wanted to know how it got there. We decided to do an ice experiment. The children filled the jars with water and various materials such as glitter. We then placed the jars in the freezer and left them there till the next day. The children asked lots of questions and we recorded our knowledge in the floorbook. The next day the children were so excited to see what had happened to the water. This lead to further discussions about icebergs and where we might find them. The children used the Ipads to further their knowledge about ice and how it forms. The children showed lots of curiosity and enjoyed exploring the ice in the water tray and discussing why it started to melt. We are going to continue to learn about the world around us and ways we can help our planet.
