Here are some activities to do while there is a snow day. Don’t spend all day on it though, enjoy the snow too if you can as we don’t get too many days like these anymore!
Practise singing the Up Helly Aa song. Here is a link and you only need to sing up to the first minute.

Reading – read your reading book if you have it at home. If not, read another book instead.

P2 – Mrs Finch would like you to:
- Snowy number stories: 18 snowflakes fell on Monday, 10 on Tuesday and 7 on Wednesday. How many fell altogether? Now make up your own snow number story and draw a picture to go with it.
- Have a go at making Scottish shortbread with an adult by following the recipe attached.

P1 –
- Go outside and roll a large snowball to make the body of a snowman. Don’t add a head, go and stand behind the body to make the head. You can then change what the head looks like, it may have different hats, wigs etc if you have any. Take photos and send back to me on the email address provided in the curriculum overview.
- Create a snow maze with different ways of travel. Some paths that end up with no way out.
- Make a snow pet – you decide what type of pet the snowman would like and make it.
- I shall put some activities up on Sumdog too. Your username and password are attached to the front of your diaries, when they ask for the school just put Dunrossness
Topic – since we are doing weather for our topic record the weather using the attached sheet. Think back to what the weather was yesterday. If you have a thermometer outside at home, you can also write down the temperature for each part of the day.

Most of all, have fun in the snow if you can and I look forward to hearing all about it when I see you again.
