McKee were going to tell you about Penguins this week, but the weather took us in a different direction! On Wednesday the class filled ice trays with water, wool and sequins. We left them out over night and they froze.
On Thursday we felt them, looked at them with a magnifying glass and decorated an old tree with them. It was so cold they did not melt all day. The children wanted to make a bigger ice picture. We put water in the water tray, added various items to make a collage and left it over night.
Today, Friday, it was frozen solid and we thought it looked beautiful.
Here are some:
"What a fantastic idea - the decorations on the tree are beautiful."
"I love the sparkles."
"Very good."
"Great idea! Love the decorations."
"Birds Eye world box very impressive - very pretty, love the tree."
"Very good idea, we may do something at home."
"Very good, perhaps you should move onto ice sculptures next!!
"Very good artwork, very inventive, the tree is my favourite."
"It was good to see it all on the blog and to hear about all the comments from my child. Well done Mckee!!"
"The ice work looks amazing and it looks like they had a great time doing it!"
As we went home our ice was still frozen,
we wonder if it will be still there Monday?
We thought that all of these were really pretty. I loved seeing them for real and look forward to seeing if they are still there on Monday. Thank you for sharing this with us. Grandad and grandma read the blog as well and so said to say they think the pictures really amazing x
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look great what a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteWOW!-so beautiful. A good idea to include the parents comments so that the children know what we think of their efforts. MCKee class must know everthing there is to know about ice now!
ReplyDeleteGreat work McKee! I can't help thinking that your ice will still be there on Monday.
