cold frozen countries ! at home and abroad

With the cold icy weather we have, topically, been looking at ice and snow and what countries we might find these in. The children were keen to look for animals that live around the Arctic and in Antarctica and then played with them in the fake snow we made. They have also been studying water into ice – looking and feeling what the difference is between water and frozen water inside (using the freezer)  and outside !

We are busy making Christmas decorations and cards – lots of glitter and glue and practicing singing our songs for the Christmas Sing song ( Thursday 15^th Dec 11 – 12 noon).

At Broadway Playschool 2-3’s group it has been brilliant watching the children interact and join in telling the story of ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ using a story sack.  We have been playing inside football as we all got too cold outside after a while- but it was good to explore the frozen water and ice on the tyres and benches.  We all went down to the church to see the Xmas tree Festival – our tree was the best the children decided!
