This week we have had the pleasure of having Mr Harwood in our classroom. He is training to be an Education Officer for the police. He helped out in our class for 4 days and took a lesson on keeping ourselves save in the bush.
We have been investigating how water turns into ice this week. We did an experiment, made some predictions and noted our findings. We found out that - water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius - ice is lighter than water - water expands when it freezes - ice will freeze into the shape it is in
We loved passing our ice around the circle and talking about how cold it was. Then we took photos of the ice.
The ice blocks in your photos look like rocks. The ice must have been cold when you passed it around. Did your hands get red when you held the ice blocks? We know that ice is lighter than water because it floats when you put it in a drink.
We are a class of Year 1 students at Sunnybrae Normal School, Auckland. Mrs Rennie-Younger teaches us on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Mrs Morley teaches us on Wednesday and Thursday. We hope you enjoy sharing our learning. Please feel free to leave us a message by clicking on the comment section at the bottom of an entry.
