SNOW DAY!

Well, everyone was really excited in the Thomas family this morning. I was woken up before 6.00am to look at the snow!
 I hope you all have a lovely time outside and make the most of it, but when you're cold and tired here are some activities that you can do indoors.

SNOW DATA

Try measuring how deep the snow is, at different times of the day, and record your data. Here's a picture of my son Sam, measuring the depth of the snow, at 10.00am this morning.

The snow was 13cm's deep. We are going to check again at 12.00pm, 2.00pm and again at 4.00pm, if it keeps snowing.

You could make a graph or bar chart to show what you have found out.

SNOWFLAKES

Did you know that every snowflake is different and that they are  crystals? Here are some that have been photographed through a microscope.

Try drawing or making your own paper snowflakes. Can you create one that looks like the snowflakes in the picture. Here's some instructions on how to do it. Try experimenting with the way you cut the paper.

Don't forget all the weblinks on our blog. You can practise your numeracy skills, phonics knowledge and if you go on the literacy blog  there is a link to a website that helps you write an adventure story. Perhaps your story could be linked to playing in the snow.

Have a lovely time - play safely, keep warm and I look forward to seeing and hearing about what you have done.
