We hope you are all having a fun and safe snow day!  As you know we really like getting out and about in all weathers so here are some things you could do if you are out in the snow today and tomorrow:

1.  Look for animal footprints in the snow, also look at and compare your family’s footprints.  Use size words and look at shoe patterns.
2. Catch a snowflake and look at it carefully – talk about what you can see.
3. Go sledging – who can go furthest on the sledge?
4. Build a snow man, count out 5 buttons, measure it’s height compared to yours, make a small, medium and large snowman.
5. Use a stick to write your name in the snow, draw a snow picture (if you’re quick enough before the snow fills it in again!!)

If you prefer to stay inside enjoy some family fun:

1.  Make a bird feeder – here is a useful link for ideas – https://www.thespruce.com/bird-feeders-for-kids-to-make-2764688
2. Play games using dice – practise recognising the dice patterns without counting.
3. Help make some hot chocolate or even the lunch / dinner – practise spreading and cutting – talk about what you are doing.
4. Remember tomorrow is world book day – read stories together and talk about what happens.
5. Make play dough and build an indoor snowman – http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/no-cook-play-dough-L2119.html

Most of all have fun with your family and we would love to see some pictures on your Learning Journals of your snow day antics!!
