Snow School
On Friday 18th January, the school opened for 'Snow School'.
The children and staff that were safely able to make it into school had a fantastic day. The children could choose any activity including painting with different materials, including snow, carrying out experiments around the school, using the computers, and collaborating together to build models. We also made some delicious shortbread that we ate with some hot chocolate after spending time playing out in the snow. We loved making snowballs, small snowmen and playing snow basketball!
