Reception Who will escape the quickest?

Date: 18th Jan 2022 @ 6:08pm

Today Recpetion took part in the whole school No Pen Day!  Recpetion were faced with a bit of a challenge.  Marshmellow the snow monster had used his magic powers to freeze Elsa, Ana, Kristoff and Sven.  We have to work together to see which meduim would help them escape the quickest.  We discussed which meduims we could use including washing up liquid, salt, warm water and a scrubby brushy.  As a class we made and prediction and talk about why we thought that.  The children had some fantastic discussions and made some superb observations about what was happening.  They even learnt some new scientific words including melting, freezing, liquid, solid and temperature.

"The ice is melting becuase my hand are hot" Evelyn

"You need something warm to melt it like the sun" Isaac

"It doesn't melt in the freezer because the temperature is cold" Isobelle

"The ice is turning into water when it melts" James

"When it is cold water freezes" Maja
