Thanks to Jake and Sophie Hawthorne for their fabulous Fun In The Snow photos, it looks as though they were having an amazing time! Remember if you are having a little down time inside that there are lots of fun games on Education City, Topmarks and Cool Maths Games to try out. You could also sharpen your multiplication skills on Hit The Button so you are super fast in our 1 and 5 minute challenges when you get back to school! Meanwhile enjoy the snow and send some cheery photos for me to see!

I hope you are still all having fun in the snow today! Perhaps you could try practicing your spelling words in the snow.

In class we have been writing about the day the crayons quit, I wonder if you could come up with great ideas for snow equipment quitting… my snow shovel sure would like to quit!

Here are some more pictures of Jack and I enjoying the snow, please continue to share your fun pictures with me!

Get reading a book for World Book Day! No excuses! 🙂

Cinco is loving the snow!

Thanks for your fabby photos guys!!

Good morning primary 6/7 and HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! I have really enjoyed seeing pictures of you having lots of fun in the snow. I will try to capture some photos of my own and post them later today 🙂 If you are looking for some more activities, here are some suggestions you could try.
1. Since it is World Book Day, you could cosy up and read your favourite book. Me and Cinco (my dog) are going to be snuggled in reading “Brain Freeze” by Tom Fletcher.
2. You could create a poster to advertise your book and persuade someone else to read it. Think about the persuasive openers you completed for your Read, Write, Swap books!
3. We have been working hard in class to create interesting newspaper reports which include the 5ws – what, why, where, when, who? You could write your own newspaper report on the weather across Scotland. Remember you need a catchy headline!
4. Continue to play games on Sumdog and compete with your classmates. You are really challenging yourselves and doing a fantastic job. Have you shown someone how to use the grid method for multiplication?
5. Practise your times tables! There are plenty of songs on Youtube that you could learn to help you. These ones are particularly fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XzfQUXqiYY
6. Are you feeling inspired by the snow? Get creative and make some artwork. You could draw or paint a snowy landscape. I know you love the “How to Draw” videos so why not show someone at home?

1. I know you will have been having lots of fun. Why not write me a letter to let me know what you have been up to? I can’t wait to hear all of your stories!
2. There are lots of unusual birds in my garden at the moment. Why not spread some kindness and feed some birds. They will be finding it hard to find food in all of this snow.
   Please continue to wrap up warm and keep yourselves safe! Keep sending me your pictures 🙂 lauren.walker1@westlothian.org.uk
