Fun with the ice at Forest School!

Here are some pictures of us having fun with ice at Forest School. We talked about why the water turned into ice, how long we thought it would have taken to freeze, and the best ways to melt the ice! We even estimated how thick we thought the ice was in the pond. Some children were tasked with removing frozen objects from the ice. They tried lots of different ways but in the end, the quickest way to try to break it into smaller pieces of it melted faster. Some other children were busy making dens for the Giant. They improved on their plans from last week and created new inventions. The children at the pond conducted an experiment to find out the heaviest item that the ice could hold without cracking. They tried all sorts from logs and sticks to rocks and stones.
