Hi Primary 2/1,

Below are a few more activities that you could try out in the snow. Remember to wrap up warm and stay safe.

Maths
Bulls eye
Snowballs do not have to be thrown at people. Flatten an area of snow by stomping on it and ask an adult to help you draw a target in the flattened snow. When you have drawn your target number the rings with sticks, stones or whatever you can find nearby. Now throw your snowballs at the targets and add your points together.

Science
Nature Hunt
Take an adult for a nature walk. Keep your eyes peeled for all the different prints you will see in the snow, you could even take pictures of them to help you remember what they looked like. When you return home use the internet to help you discover what animal the prints belong to.

Balloon experiment
With the help of an adult fill some balloons with water. Add different food colouring to each balloon and place them outside amongst the snow. Check on your experiment over the course of the day and see what happens to the water in your balloons. At the end of the day you can pop the balloon and use the inside to create a picture.

Expressive Arts
Headless Snowman
Make a snowman without a head. When you have completed your snowman stand behind it as if your head belongs to the snowman. Take a picture and send it to me via the Twitter account
Health and Wellbeing

Snowy obstacle course

Design an obstacle course where you have to climb over, go under or/and go round different objects made from snow. When you have completed your course, play follow my leader with a sibling, friend or adult. Snowy hurdles work well!

Literacy

We need to catch up

We are going to have a lot to catch up on, so why not write me a letter to tell me what you have been doing during the snow days and what I have been missing out on. Remember to draw me a picture of your favourite bit!

Brighten up my day
Ask an adult for a water bottle filled with water and a little bit of food colouring. Write your sounds or words in the snow. Remember to take a picture and either send it to me via the school blog or bring it into school when we’re back.

I’m looking forward to seeing more picture of you out in the snow. ⛄️
