Hi to everyone who has made it back to school today.  The children have had a ball sharing their snowy escapades with the class.  Congratulations to those families who managed to make IGLOOS!!  I’m so impressed. if you have any photos, it would be great to see them.  Lets hope we’ve seen the last of The Beast from the East!  Jacqui Colville.

Good morning P4. I have been learning lots about SWAY over my snow days so I thought I would create one for you today. Use the arrows in the bottom right corner to navigate through it. Hopefully this will inspire you to create a SWAY yourself. Have a Marvellous Monday, I cannot wait to see you all! 🙂

UPDATE!

Toronto will now open on Monday so we may have a look at these different activities in class!

Good morning Everyone!

Join me on Yammer for today’s learning.

Primary 6 are delighted to have been given the special jobs of being Buddies to the Nursery children. They have been writing books that they will be reading to the children when we get back. I was wondering if anyone is looking for something to do they could help us by writing a little book about a snowy adventure, or fun in the snow? The more colourful the better!

Hope you are all having fun in the snow!!

Maybe you could use your measuring skills and see how deep the snow is?

 It was a bit deep for Ozzie here!

Have you built a snowman?  Is it taller or shorter than a metre?

Could you estimate how much snow would weigh the same as a kilogram?

I look forward to hearing all about your adventures in the snow next week.
