Hopefully after today we won’t have any more snow for a LONG time.
Although it might not be everyone’s favourite weather Rhys and Adam obviously didn’t let it stop them from having fun!
The snow was so deep that it was almost up to Rhys’ knees!
Adam enjoyed making snow angels and having snowball fights with his sister and brother. I wonder who won?
Just as well Adam and his brother Jack didn’t want to go cycling as their bikes were completely buried!
Lucy has been busy over the last few days.
She made a super snowman who is much taller than her. I love his smiley face!
She also made an amazing snow seat although I don’t think I’d like to sit in it for too long!
Well done Lucy! Looks like you have had lots of fun.
See you tomorrow.
Mrs M :o)
I hope you are all enjoying your time off, but I hope you are looking forward to getting back to school. I know I am and can’t wait to see you all soon!
If you’d like another activity to do, today or tomorrow, try this out….
During our last snowy days in January we learned that water can be a liquid (when you can pour it or drink it) a solid (when it freezes into ice or snow!) and a gas (steam coming out of the kettle).
Can you spot any changes in the snow around you? What happens to the snow/ice when the temperature gets warmer? What happens to water if you put it in the freezer? (or even leave it outside on a freezing cold day!). Can you spot any water changing to gas in your house? Look at the kettle when mum or dad is making a hot drink or when someone is running a bath/shower. *Remember not to touch it as it will be hot*. What happens to the steam when it touches the walls or a mirror? Where do you think the steam from the kettle goes?
Can you draw water in the different ways and label them? (solid/liquid/gas).

Lots of snow hasn’t stopped David and his little sister from having fun outdoors!
Building an igloo with Dad might have been hard work but it looks great! Well done!
If anyone else in P2/1 have any ‘Snow day’ pictures they would like to share, please send them to me on Class Dojo and I will post them to the school blog.

Hands up if you are missing school yet!
Here are some Science activities to keep you busy if you are brave enough to venture outside!
Anyone going sledging today?! Does the weight of an object make it go faster/further down a slope? What does friction do to an object moving down-hill? Is sledging a push or pull force? Or both?!
Can you build a snowman taller than you? What force (push or pull) do you use when building a snowman?
Make a snowball, weigh it. Watch what happens to the snowball when it is indoors. When it has completely melted, weigh is again? Is there any change? Can you draw the snowball at the start and then at the end of your experiment?
I’ve added a Snow Hunt activity that you could do IF you are out and about.
Have fun whatever you are doing today and remember to stay warm and safe!
Mrs M
It’s snowing outside and school is closed. What can you do? You can enjoy time with your family at home or get outside to enjoy the snowy weather. You can also try some of the Snow day activities too! Click on the links below to see which activities you would like to try.
There is one for P3 and a separate one for P2.
Have fun and stay warm!
Miss Adam
So much for Spring just being around the corner! Never mind, all this snow just means more fun!
Please find attached a Snow Learning activity sheet for the P1s and one for the P2s (just click on the link to download).
There are a few activities to try out. You do not need to do them all but I look forward to hearing about your snow day when we return to school.
Have fun and stay safe!

If you don’t have Word I have also included the activities as a PDF file below (just click on the link).
Today in class we were learning about forces. We investigated how different toys might move. We learned that there is a push or a pull force that makes them move.
We used different toys to help us learn about the push and pull force. It was fun and didn’t feel like we were working BUT we learned lots and were able to share what we found out with others.
Cooper – I played with the play-doh. I used a push and a pull force.
Kayleigh – I used a push force to make the play-doh flat!
Calvin – I rolled the play-doh into a sausage shape. I was pushing and pulling.
Rhys – I used a straw to make the ball move. I blew through the straw and the air pushed the ball forward. It was a push force.
Kian – I played with the Lego. I pushed it to make it stick together but pulled it apart.
Jay – I pushed the trains to make them move. It was a push force.
Viktoria – I used my body to push the hula-hoop. I used a push force.
Ruby – I pushed the cars to make them zoom!
Brooke – I pulled the car back and let it go and it went across the carpet.
It may have been cold and snowy outside all day but that didn’t stop P2/1 from having taking part in lots of outdoor learning (cleverly disguised as fun!).
The first thing we did was to learn how to build a snowman. We discovered that it isn’t as easy as it looks! Mrs Walker helped us (we think she had the most fun of all!). When we had finished making them we came back in to class and wrote instructions on how to make one.
After that we spoke about the different types of clothes you would wear in Winter and compared this to clothes in summer. We all agreed that shorts and flip flops might not be a good idea on a day like today!
More outdoor learning followed afterwards. This time we were catching snowflakes on black paper and looking at them through a magnifying glass. It was interesting to see how many landed on our paper. There were loads. Next we tried to catch snowflakes on our tongues. We made pictures of people doing this last week so it was fun trying it out for ourselves! Then we had a team competition to see who could build the tallest snow tower. Lastly, we made snow angels!
You can see all of the fun we had in the photos!
