Hello everyone,

With the school being closed today it is a fantastic opportunity to prepare for World Book Day. Cosy up and read a book!

Below are some alternative activities that can be completed at home:

• Prepare your hat or T-shirt design for World Book Day. Rather than a full costume, we have asked for creative designs based on your favourite book or character. You could chose to make a physical item or draw your ideas.
• You could write a diary entry detailing your snow day activities.
• As an extra challenge, you could document your day into a series of texts that are 140 characters and tweet them using the hash tag #SPSsnowday
• Could you create fraction pictures in the snow? Maybe make a giant snow pizza and cut into quarters, eighths etc!
• Create a contrasting snow image, for example, a summer beach scene in the snow! Use paint to colour the snow and create your image.
• Watch your favourite movie and write a review.
• Use the snowy scene as inspiration for a moody or atmospheric poem.
• Access maths learning activities via Sumdog.
• Safely host your own Winter Olympics! Try different physical activities in the snow and time yourself or measure distance travelled.
• Build a snow man, snow animal or something else creative. Take a photograph and post it to our twitter pages.

Most importantly stay safe and warm and enjoy your day. Keep me up to date with what you get up to here or via twitter @MrAitken1 @SimpsonPrimary
