Reception (Class 2) - Science - Ice

After learning about cold places around the world and the animals that live there we spent science week exploring Ice.

We had a fantastic week describing the ice , making predictions and carrying out experiments. We talked about what happens to the ice when it melts and what happens when it gets cold again. We used Vocab 'liquid' and 'solid'. 

We predicted which way the ice would melt the fastest , our hands, warm water, salt and sugar. We used our talk tokens and sentence stems to take turns to speak and use full sentences. 

We then carried out the experiment in the outdoor area. There was lots of discussion about how animals keep warm in the winter and how animals such as polar bears and penguins live in freezing conditions.

We thought about how we keep warm in winter and sorted the clothes, dressing characters appropriately for the weather.
