Ice

Today, the children noticed that there was a branch frozen in one of our tuff spots that had filled with water. They were amazed by the ice on the branches and how smooth the ice felt. We thought about how to melt the ice. Some children thought they could smash it to melt it so they experimented with this. Others held it in their hands noticing how the ice turned into water. Some of the children left some toys in a bowl of water to see if it would freeze overnight. It was wonderful to see the children exploring, investigating and using their wider vocabulary in their play.
