Snow Fun!!
The children in nursery have been having a great time playing with snow both indoors and outdoors! They were making snow cones using food colouring and sprinkle (not to eat) and check out all those snow angels outside!
Can you guess what adult is joining in the fun, making snow angels and being buried in the snow?
We would love to see your snowy fun pictures! Feel free to send them in to the school email address wldeans-ps@westlothian.org.uk and we can share with everyone!
