Snow Day Science

Date: 16th Jan 2024 @ 2:13pm

We have been learning about Winter in Nursery. We've been finding frozen blocks of ice all over our provision. Yesterday we received a letter from some penguins, asking us to help them get free from the ice that they were trapped in. We planned experiments in our key worker groups to work out how to free them.This morning there was snow all over the outdoor area but no trapped penguins. This afternoon we found the penguins frozen in ice outside, next to our water tray, so we sprung into action!

Mrs Ganners group poured warm water on the penguins and it melted the ice.

Mrs Blakeley's group banged the ice with a hammer to break the penguins free.

Mrs Wyment's group got a bucket and put in some warm and cold water. After that, they put the penguins inside the bucket and waited.

Ms Marley's group put the penguins in a tray and put it outside and waited for the sun to come out.

We hope you enjoy looking at the photos of our learning as much as we enjoyed setting the penguins free!
