Hope you are all having some fun in the snow. As you know our topic this half term is Growing and Changing and this week we are exploring Freezing and Thawing. Here are some questions to think about.

1.) Why is there lots of snow at the moment?
2.) Where does snow come from and what is it made of?
3.) Is the weather hot or cold?
4.) What will happen to the snow if the weather gets colder or warmer? What changes will
occur?
5.) How can we stay warm? What can we do to help us warm up?

Perhaps you could use your pink homework books to tell both your friends and I what fun you have had this snowy extended weekend?

You could do one or more of the following:

1. Draw a picture of a snowy activity you have carried out. (Sledging, building a snowman
or snowdog, having a snowball fight, walking in the snow etc.)
2. Label your picture with a few key words.
3. Write a couple of sentences about your snowy weekend.
4. Tell me what you have noticed about how the snow or ice has changed over the weekend.

There are also some weblinks on the attached sheet which feature useful ICT games for several areas of the curriculum including Mathematics, Literacy and Understanding the World.
