Brrr!!! What a cold and snowy time it has been for P2/1 this week.  Lots of us tried our best to battle our way through the snow and we’ve had lots of fun developing new skills and ‘building new neuron bridges’.

Here are our winter theme highlights:

Teigan – “Playing with Kaiden in the snow”

Griffin – “I liked playing with Foana in the snow.  It was really funny because she kept trying to eat the snow that we were using to build a snowman.  Foana likes carrots so was trying to eat the nose as well!”

Rory – “I liked going sledging in the back garden with my mummy.  Mummy pushed me down the hill.  I liked that because I went down the hill very fast”

Cameron – “I liked throwing snowballs at my dad because I threw it at his head and he got me back.  We then went back home and then we played horses together.”

Sarah – “Me and my brother were throwing snowballs at each other”

Rio – “Me and my sister made a snowman.  We used cucumber for its eyes and its nose and we used stones for the buttons.”

Daniel – “I liked building a snowman with my sister too.  The best bit was that we made the body so super big we couldn’t get the head on.  We had to get a step to put the head on!”

Poppy F – “I liked going sledging with my friends and family because my mum pushed me down the big hill and I went flying into the trees and did a forward roll! I was crying.”

Millie – “My favourite part of this week was that me, my mum and my sister built a snowman.  We named it and then had a snowball fight.  After that we went inside to bake a chocolate cake because it was my sister’s birthday.  It was yummy!”

Leah – “I really liked when I built a snowman with my granny because we used brussel sprouts for the mouth and the eyes.   It looked very funny when we put a potato on for a nose”

Leila – “I liked playing in the snow when my mum pulled me down the hill in a sledge”

Emily – “I liked going sledging with my brother, my mummy and my daddy because I liked when I went down the big snowy hills.  it was so cold when I got into the sledge and there was snow all around me.  Once when I was sledging I fell out of the sledge and my face landed in the snow!”

Poppy D – “I enjoyed building a snowman with my sister and my brother.  When we were building the snowman we had a competition to see who made the best one.  The funniest bit was that I used my gran’s lights for the arms and my sister used them for the arms.  My mum came out and my gran went crazy because we had used her good things.  I won the competition.”

Regan – “Me and my dad went to the hill behind my house and we went sledging.  I went down the hill on a sledge and my dad came down it with me…his chin banged on my head and it was very funny.”

Lucy – “There is a new park with a massive hill behind it.  I went right down it and snow went in my face.  When I got home I had to go in a boiling bath so that I could warm up because it was cold.”

Mason – My mummy went to Tesco and she went to Argos.  She bought us some sledges and mine is blue.  I went out in the sledge and I liked it.”

Aiden – “I went sledging with my daddy and we went down the hill.  At the bottom we had a snowball fight and we made a snowman.  When we went inside we played more games”

Breaghannon – “I liked going sledging with my stuffed animals.  Mummy went and bought my stuffed animals and me a sledge and mine was purple.”
