Snow Day!

Copy the following paragraph into a comment box and finish the story:

The white flakes fluttered down outside the frosty window.  It was 

so unfair.  Playtime was on it's way but the message from Mrs Daley 

simply said that we were not allowed into what had become a polar

bear's dream, otherwise known as 'our playground'.

Maybe a child sneaks out of the classroom and has their own adventure in the snow or maybe a snowman creeps into the playground and all the children have to hide it from their teachers!

The only limit is your imagination...happy writing!

Snow Day!

Read the following poem about winter, then, copy and paste it into a comment box so that you can change it and make your own version:

I heard Sir Winter coming.
He crept out of his bed
and rubbed his thin and freezing hands:
“I’ll soon be up!” he said.

“I’ll shudder at the keyhole
and rattle at the door,
I'll strip the trees of all their leaves
and strew them on the floor.

“I’ll harden every puddle
that Autumn thinks is his –
I’ll lay a sparkling quilt of snow
on everything that is!

“I’ll bring a load of darkness
as large as any coal,
and drive my husky dogs across
the world, from pole to pole.

“Oho! How you will shiver!
– And then I heard him say;
“But in the middle of it all
I’ll give you

CHRISTMAS DAY!”
