Snowy weather activities


Here are some ideas for you to try if you are stuck at home in snowy weather.
Imaginative Snow Stories                       
                                                               
Use the opening phrases to start a story about the winter weather. Alternatively, use one of the titles to write a story about winter.
I woke up this morning to a blanket of crisp snow...

The snow had finally stopped falling, and we were ready to conquer it...

Dragging his sledge behind him, Charlie set off on his adventure...

Titles
The Blizzard

The Snowman

Winter Wonderland

Reading recommendations

Choose a book at home you have really enjoyed reading. Write a short review you could share with the class. Use the internet to find out about the author. Create a fact file about the author. Find out what other books they have written.

Personal Project
You could continue with research on your WW2 personal project. If you want to create a model for your presentation then this would be a good time to do it!
Winter artwork
Create a picture to show the wintry scene from your window. You could use pencil, pen, paint or you could create a collage.

Practise your measuring skills
Follow a recipe from a recipe book. This is great for practising your measuring skills, especially if you need to double or halve all the ingredients!
REMEMBER TO ASK AN ADULT BEFORE YOU START TO DO ANY COOKING!

Learn the German numbers from 1 to 20. (Go to Google translate if you can’t remember how to pronounce them.)

You could also go to You tube and find and learn the German alphabet song.

Times tables practice

Practise your times tables. You could do this on your own or ask someone at home to help you. Study ladder is always useful for practising maths skills and I will make sure there are always some tasks set for you during snow closure days.
