it had to happen........

........I can't resist it any longer.......

I have taken a few snowy photos over the past few days.

I was sent home from school yesterday at lunchtime, because of the weather.
But in the morning we took class 2 to Touchstones for a workshop about 'Toys'.

The snow started as we arrived and the teachers and museum staff started to panic when the roads become covered and we cut the workshop short and headed back.

We use public transport when we stay local and it was a bit hairy dragging 30 children through a blizzard back to the bus station to find some of the routes were already suspended!

We managed to get back to school where parents were waiting to take them home early.
It's a trip I won't forget in a hurry!

We have been looking at Christmas poems in school

In the bleak mid-winter

Frosty wind made moan;

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago.
Christina Rossetti

I've built a cuddly snow cat
With whiskers made from straws-
And I'm almost sure,
I'm almost sure,
I saw him lick his paws.

He's sitting in my garden,
He's smiling at me now,
And I'm almost sure,
I'm almost sure
I heard him say, "Mee-ow!"
Clare Bevan

See the pretty snowflakes

Falling from the sky;

On the wall and housetops

Soft and thick they lie.

On the window ledges,

On the branches bare;

Now how fast they gather,

Filling all the air.

Look into the garden,

Where the grass was green;

Covered by the snowflakes,

Not a blade is seen.

Now the bare black bushes

All look soft and white,

Every twig is laden,

What a pretty sight!
