Our first snow days for 2015

Did you see the Ruxton's place on the news last night? We are happy to be back at school today after our first two snow days for 2015!

The Rams

Dad, Mum and I had all the dogs we walked down the drive way and into the paddock that had 50 rams in it. The snow was up to dad's hips in some parts. And in other parts it was up to his knees. We were trying to look for the rams for dad because he thought he was missing them. As we walked further down the paddock in the bright white snow we found 30 of the rams. We knew there was still 20 more to find, so we walked up the hill and in the corner by the gate all snuggled up was the other ones. Then we looked around the hills and saw the deer playing in the snow. After that we walked back home and went sledding on the rubber boat 66. We tried my little sled but it just sank. We chose the rubber boat 66 because it had a flat bottom on it. We tried the little one because we thought it will slide well down the steep hill but it didn’t but it was still fun.

 

What is a snow day?

A typical snow day at our house is like a normal school day but we have snow on the ground. When this happens we wait for a phone call to see if our school is open or closed. If closed we stay at home and do snow work. Our teachers assign us work on our Wiki page. When we finish our snow work we get to play in the snow and do our normal daily chores like bringing in wood.
