Join us for a whole school Sumdog Snow Day Reading Competition for World Book Day by selecting Reading Snow Day when you log into Sumdog. Your login and password should be in your homework diary.
To be able to take part in the Reading Snow Day competition, if children have not used Sumdog recently they might need to complete the assessment at the top of the login screen first. Once it’s done that then it should be okay to enter the contest.
Good luck!
Your teachers have set you some activities that you might want to take part in during your snow day! Please click on our blog and find the activities for your class or whole school activities.

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful snow! Remember there are lots of snow day activities for you to complete on the blog and any work you do can be brought in and shared with the class when we return.
Here are some creative activities you can try:
Snowy picture or painting
Snowy personal story (remember to include thoughts and feelings)
A Tom Gates inspired story with pictures and words
Practise your times tables using snow/snowballs
Read a book
Draw a map of your local area and label it
Watch Newsround and draw or write about what you found out
But mainly, have fun with your family and friends in the snow! I would love to see any photos of you in the snow! I will see you when we return to school.

There is still time to send us a photo of you reading in an unusual place – why not send us one in the snow!
