Our learning environments in Reception

Snow Day Activities

Here are some suggestions for having fun in the snow:

• Make a snow angel - great for exercising your arms, legs and core muscles
• Build a snow sculpture - it does not have to be a snowman!
• Go for a winter walk and search for footprints in the snow - who or what do you think made the footprints?
• Look for icicles - how do you think they were formed?
• Can you write your name in the snow?
• Try painting in the snow - simply mix snow and liquid paint in a pot then off you go!
• Hide some objects in the snow then try to find them - don't forget to wear gloves for this!
• Target practise - line up a set of objects then try to hit them using a snow ball
• We would love to see what you have been doing in the snow; why not post your photos on Evidence Me?Enter text...
