The Water Cycle

On Friday we had great fun! 'Water' was a word that appeared on our Thrass chart (as well as one of the children's spelling words this week) so Mel and I decided to explore this theme. Firstly we discussed the water cycle and from this the children realised that water is found in three forms. To illustrate this concept we made coloured ice cubes which we gave to the children to place on white paper. We left the ice to melt and then evaporate. The children kept checking on the process and were delighted with the 'pictures' that were created once the water had evaporated leaving the food colouring on the pages.
