Snow Day #2 – Owl Class

Owl Class continued their snowy-fun with a big challenge this morning: Who could design the best igloo? They decided skills included science, PE, team-building, PSHE, DT, Art and Maths! It really challenged thinking in terms of structure, design and strengthening the igloo… it actually made us realise how hard they are to build!

The overall winner? Miss Whit! (I am delighted to report that I received a Headteacher’s Award too).
