Frozen Puddles - 4 Hour Class
February 23, 2018, 06:30 AM
When we went to King George Park, the
children enjoyed playing in the snowy playground. While running around, Jerome,
Koen and Fraser noticed the ice on the ground and were intrigued by it. They
came closer to look at it and Koen said “this is a big piece of ice”. Fraser
started to walk on it and realized that it was very slippery. He almost fell
but caught himself. Fraser said “this feels like skating”. Jerome was
determined to look for small pieces of ice on the ground.
Jerome found a small enough piece of ice
that he could carry and threw it across the ice. He saw how the ice turned into
smaller pieces and it just slid across the frozen puddle. Jerome said “the big
ice no break”.
Fraser and Koen both enjoyed walking on the
ice. Koen said, “it feels like your feet are sliding”.
The children enjoyed exploring the ice.
They were intrigued by how water turns to ice and vice versa. This will be a
topic that we will be exploring in the coming week.
Koen and Fraser wanted to break the ice and
see if there was water under the ice. Koen started stomping on the ice. The ice
started to crack and eventually broke. There was still water under the ice.
Until next time,
Patricia
