Hopefully you have all been having some fun in the snow this week? Why not take some photos of your snowmen, snow sculptures, snow angels, sledging, snowed in cars etc! and bring them in when you get back to school to show your teachers. I wonder how many different types of snowmen and snow sculptures we will see? Who will have the most snow on their car? or who will be having the most fun out on their sledge?
We can make the photos into a fantastic display of our Pencaitland Snow Adventures. Remember to wrap up warm when you’re outside and I’ve heard that hot chocolate with marshmallows is great for warming up cold bodies after they’ve been out in the snow…
See you soon,
Miss Sutherland 🙂
