Investigating a snowball

The Later Years spent some time today investigating a large snowball. We produced lots of questions about the snowball. We went on to set up various investigations such as how long it would take the snow ball to melt. Below are some pictures of some of the children taking measurements.

Snow Poems

Today the Later Years Primary have been producing snow poems, here are some examples below.

White blanket of snow covering
Roads, fields and roof tops
Sometimes snow makes people laugh
Sometimes it makes people cry
Especially if they get a snowball in the eye!

Snow sweet Snow

Snow like sugar, Snow like ice.
Snow is fun and snow is nice.
Snowflakes falling to the ground,
Where the snow lies soft and sound.
Untouched, fluffy, smooth and cold,
Changing colour as it gets old.
Melting quickly, ready to disappear,
Hard and slippery, BE CAREFUL HERE!

School open all day – please use Chatsworth Road Entrance

School Open Tomorrow

This afternoon I met with the Headteachers of local schools so that we could coordinate the opening of schools in our community.

Whilst concerns remain about travelling to school in snowy and icy conditions the fact is these conditions are forecast to continue and we must strive to resume normal service in our schools (whilst ensuring our children are safe).

We at St Josephs therefore plan to open the school as normal tomorrow (and we understand that some children may be late coming into school), and maintain normal service next week – even if these difficult conditions continue.

Again thanks for your understanding and PLEASE TAKE CARE TRAVELLING!
