Chunks of Ice

Landmark 11 (Celebrate each Season)

The children found big chunks of ice and begin to create and make their own snow because there wasn’t enough around the yard supposedly so they wanted to make more and brainstormed a way to make that happen. Georgia, Aubrey, Audrey, Olivia and Amelia were making more snow. Georgia found a chunk of ice and Amelia placed the bucket underneath to catch the snow they were making, Georgia said, “we are making the snow with the ice chunks against the brick, so when we rub the ice along the brick it turns into powder like snow, so it makes snow, we want more snow so thought we would make it ourselves”. Amelia said, “we made it all the way to the top and it’s landing in the bucket, but we have to fill it up all the way up to the top”. Amelia continued to say, “we are going to make a cake because in the game is my birthday”.
Olivia said, “we are making a snow monster cake”. Aubrey poured the snow powder from the bucket into the cake tray and they carried it over to Amelia and sang her happy birthday.
Audrey had a tiny chunk of ice and said, “look I have an ice snow cone without flavour”.
