Calling all Bankton snow learners

You will know by now that school will be closed 
today and tomorrow. The teachers have all worked 
really hard to provide exciting learning for you to access at home.
Today’s challenge from me is all about extreme 
weather for all the scientists out there!
Can you find out:
*Where does snow come from?
*How does it form?
*Why we are having so much snow?
*What makes this snow different?
*When was the last time schools closed in West 
Lothian?

Can you add photos / video from your garden and put your information into a SWAY or PowerPoint we can 
share at Assembly?

Remember today is one of the most special days all year - World Book Day. We will celebrate in school next Thursday - can’t wait to see you all. 
STAY SAFE

Mrs. Stewart

I hope you and your families stay safe in these difficult weather conditions! West Lothian Council have made this decision to keep all of us safe, particularly anyone having to travel on the roads.
