You're not going out in that ?

 

On Monday the snow lay thick on the ground at Cheetham CE Primary. But we got our wellies on and went out. 

There were numerous animal tracks to follow: birds, cats and, we think, a fox.  We picked snow-topped  green apples. We made snow sculptures.  We threw snowballs at empty plants pots for a snowy fairground game.  Then the children repurposed the pots as buckets to make snowcastles. One even decorated hers with leaves to make a snow tree. 

Needless to say, the children loved it.  Several said they had never played in snow before.
