The North Pole in Christchurch

Snow, snow, and more snow! On Wednesday and Thursday, school was cancelled because of the big snow dump that happened early on Wednesday morning. It was too dangerous for us to come to school because of the ice, so we got to have 2 days off!

Back at school today, we had a challenge where we had to make snowmen in 2 teams. We had 3 minutes to make the first part of the snowman, and then 2 minutes to make the rest of the snowman. We tried as hard as we could to make a big snowman, and we put decorations on.

Our groups both worked really well, and as you can see, the Year 4's all tried really hard to lift the giant middle section they had rolled. They had some success in the end, but the Year 3's won the challenge because they made their snowman in the time that we had.

Check out our photos - Room 20, if you have any snow photos you want to put on the blog, please send them to emma.woolford@halswell.school.nz.
