The change in temperature has provided a focal point of discussion out in the nursery garden… we couldn’t miss all of the twinkling frost on the playground and the children have been spotting patches of ice hidden inside tyres, under pallets and inside buckets this week.

Archie wanted to break up the ice puddle he had found and said it would crack up. Finley has wanted to freeze water by leaving outside over night he said that water turns to ice at night. Our fire pit was filled with ice and we spotted wood trapped inside.. the children asked to melt the ice to get the wood out. Suggestions were that we put it in the sun, use hot water and some children wanted to crush it with their feet.

It sure has been a cold week, so wrap up warm so we can continue our learning outdoors as much as possible…
