Snowman built? Snowballs thrown? Sledded out?
Over the next few days, we will be indoors staying warm and safe from the weather outside.
Here are some ideas to keep your brain busy and body active!
First things first, today is World Book Day!
Remember on Monday at assembly, we shared our favourite stories? World Book Day this year is all about sharing stories – even just 10 minutes of reading together, snuggled up warm is a great way to pass the time. With a really good book, we’ve no doubt you’ll be reading even longer!
Can you see the book your class recommended to everyone at assembly on Monday? Why not tell the story to your family at home? Or you could write a book review or your own version of the story.
