Building Ice Sculptures!!


On Thursday, January 29th we will be making coloured ice sculptures to celebrate winter and colour!


Please freeze at least one (but you could do more) 2 litre cardboard milk carton of brightly coloured water and bring it to school on the morning of January 29th.   

We will be putting the coloured ice blocks together and building one ice sculpture. The more ice blocks, the better, so please send as many as you can.

Please note that plastic milk containers CANNOT be used for this project.

I will need two parents to help that morning with cutting the cartons off the ice blocks.  We will be doing the ice sculpture as soon as we get to school that day.

Thank you for your support with this fun winter activity!
