Ice bowl

Towards the start of January our reliever Rachel thought the children would like to explore this ice bowl, so she brought it in especially for the children. When I put it onto the table it caught the attention from a group of children. They noticed that there were flowers inside the ice bowl. The sun was hot that day so it started to melt quite fast, children examined it in different ways, Maia liked licking it, Bella held it up to her face as there were holes in the ice for her to look through, Oscar used his hands to feel the cold ice. As it carried on melting it became eaiser for the children to break bits off, this is what Jack, Ahlyna and Thadeus did, they all had a piece each to play with and roll around on the table. I talked to the children about some simple science concepts such as melting, liquid and different discriptive words were used in conversations with the children.
