Ice explorers!

20th Mar 2026

The children in Nursery were ice explorers last week.

They enjoyed going outside and finding the 'magic ice' that Jack Frost had left in our playground! The children investigated independently - writing and mark making with the ice, trying to crack it and watching it melt. We had lots of fun looking at the different textures and patterns we could see in the ice. We went on an ice shape hunt to see what icy shapes we could find!

We also had lots of fun painting Jack Frost and also painting flowers from observation.

An icy week of fun and learning!
