Primary Seven: Snow day activities

Hello everyone!

I am sure you are all having a super day outside in the snow!
Here are a few ideas to keep you busy:

Science:
You could perhaps take this time to research some more energy saving tips for your pamphlet! Walk around your house …can you spot anything that you could improve on to help save energy? I hope those computers aren’t on standby! Take a note of any more ideas that you think of!

Language:
Write an acrostic poem about the snow. You could use the following words down the side of your page:

SNOWY DAY
WINTER
SNOWMAN
SNOWBALL
SCHOOL IS CLOSED
WHERE IS THE SUN?

Or write an imaginative story-with a wintery setting!
Make it as descriptive as you can with awesome alliteration (freezing fingers), similes (as cold as ice) and metaphors (My bedroom was a fridge). Don’t forget to think about VCOP too.

A Crafty idea:
Make a decorative ‘Ice Bowl’ – fill a bowl with water and add leaves, slices of fruit, sparkly sequins and buttons.
Place in the freezer or outside if it is cold enough and wait for your Ice Bowl to form.
Tip it out when frozen and take a photograph of it and bring it in to school!

Hopefully, I will see you all tomorrow!
