Winter Inquiry at it's best!

As I (Mrs. Porto) was outside on yard duty with our friends yesterday, I wondered if the children wanted to do a little snow inquiry. I ran in to get some spray bottles filled with water and food colouring. The group of 7 children who were interested, started to spray the snow and print words/make shapes.

At the end of the day we took another group out, we painted the snow, played in the snow and put out water filled ice cube trays. The question was...what do you think will happen to the water?

Today we extended the inquiry and put out buckets and bins. Filled them with water and food colouring and placed them outside. Tomorrow we will see what we have made.

Please chat with your children about this to see what they are learning.
We hope to extend this with structures and buildings (blocks of ice will be perfect to create structures with outside).

Have a great evening!
Mrs. Porto :)
