Ice


Ice is what happens to water when it is so cold that it freezes. You can see ice as snow in winter. Snow is just tiny bits of ice. In summer, people make their drinks cooler by putting ice in them.

Icecream


Icecream is a dessert made from frozen milk or cream. Icecream is usually flavoured with sugar, vanilla, fruit or chocolate. Icecream is made by freezing the milk or cream slowly and stirring it frequently so it stays smooth. If you don't stir it, it will be full of crunchy ice crystals and will not be as nice. Icecream is sometimes served in a cone.

Insect


Insects are a very common group of creatures, found all over the world except the sea. Insects all have six legs and antennae on their heads to help them find their way around. Many insects have wings. Insects lay eggs and many start life as a worm-shaped larval stage before growing up into the adult form that you see everywhere. The larval stage of the butterfly, the caterpillar, is the most well-known.

Inside out


Something is inside-out if its inside is on the outside and its outside is on the inside. Quite often when you take your clothes off they end up inside-out. The rubber gloves in the picture are inside out.
