Well!  Throughout my entire career, I have never had a snow day until now!   I decided to prepare for some topical science lessons for next week and have got some snow bricks ready and sitting in my freezer.  We will look at the properties of snow. ( How can snow be “ the wrong type of snow”?   I left outside a container to see what happened to different items in freezing conditions, but I can’t find it now as it has been buried under the snow!  The ice castles are also in the freezer ready to discover how to rescue the items inside them.

Ther are lots of things you can do at home too- write stories about the snow and their adventures in the snow; draw pictures about the snow; build snowmen and discover what happens in powder snow; go on Sumdog and Education City. ( Sumdog diaries are in the front of the Diary); read stories with an adult; take photos of the snow and best of all….. have fun in the snow!

Remember to wear snow boots / wellies when we return and for the children to have gloves, hats and scarves on as we will go outside for some outdoor learning in the snow.   We will change into our gym shoes in class and let our wet things dry.

I look forward to seeing your stories and pictures.

Some ideas:
