Snow Day 

Friday 9th January 2026 

 

We'd love to see some pictures of you all enjoying the snow this morning!

Snow is a fantastic resource! We can play in it and learn lots from it!

 

Building a snowman is a great way of working our core skills like we do in OTTO club! Rolling and squeezing the the snow helps to work our smaller muscles in our hand and is a great fine motor skill activity. 

You could write some instructions on how to build a snowman, using your super neat handwriting. 

 

If you need to warm up inside there's only 1 phonics sound we can do today, it has to be: 

ow - blow the snow! 

Here's the video link:

We hope you have a happy and safe snow day! :)
