❄️🧊 Primary 3CMK Explore Freezing and Melting!

6th Mar 2026

Primary 3 have been busy becoming brilliant young scientists this week as they explored the fascinating processes of freezing and melting. Through hands‑on investigations, the children observed how water changes state when its temperature rises or falls. They made thoughtful predictions, carried out careful observations, and discussed their findings using fantastic scientific vocabulary.

The class loved seeing how quickly ice can melt in different conditions and were full of curiosity as they compared results and asked great questions. It was wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they worked together, tested ideas, and made real‑life connections to what they were learning.

Well done, Primary 3 — your enthusiasm and investigative skills made this a fantastic science session! Keep exploring, discovering, and learning with such energy and excitement! 🌟🔍✨

Mrs McKinney treated everyone to a cool 'freeze pop' for all their hard work!  Great work everyone! 🙌
