P3MG were enjoying the snow this week. We set ourselves a challenge to work in groups of 3 to see who could make the biggest snow ball. We’d forgotten to take out any measuring implements so we had to compare the biggest ones to decide who won.

Day 2, we remembered some string so we were able to measure the height and circumference of some big snowballs.

We also enjoyed some free play in the snow; throwing snowballs, building snowmen and tunnels, and standing under a tree whilst someone shook it to make it snow on us.

Back in the classroom we wrote a poem about snow:

I am

sky swirling

flakes falling

trees rustling

hedgehogs hiding

smiles beaming

shovels scraping

windscreens freezing

feet crunching

cheeks pinking

eyelashes glittering

children shivering

balls flying

gloves patting

fingers freezing

boots squelching

 

I am snow.
