We hope you have had a fantastic time at home this weekend and you managed to enjoy the snow. Send us in your snow pictures and they might feature on our blog.

Wake Up Shake Up

Snow Day Recount

Write the date neatly in your book.

At the weekend I had lots of fun playing in the snow with my family. 

We made a huge snowman and had a massive snowball fight. It was very cold. 

After we had played in the snow we came inside and had a hot drink to warm us up. 

This made me feel really happy.
