The children explored how the garden changes during freezing and snowy weather, experimenting with brushing snow using natural materials. They observed ice in the outdoor environment and discussed how water can change when temperatures are cold or warm, noticing ice melting when brought indoors and thinking about where it might stay frozen. Inspired by these experiences, the children followed instructions to create their own ice sculptures using natural and decorative materials, carefully preparing them and leaving them outside to freeze, eagerly anticipating the results the next day.
