Fun in the snow

 Home schooling with a difference today as we had a quite a snowfall overnight. 

It was all about snowman building, 


making bird feeders (the seeds and fruit are not frozen but held together by fat);



and of course - sledging.

It was good to be able to do something different. Lockdown is hard on the children as they are desperate to be back at school with their friends. it will be at least a month before that happens.

  3. So glad they got such a great break in the monotony. That looks like a really fun day.

  4. It looks so pretty. Children can cope with a lot and I don't think the lockdown will cause long term problems as long as their education continues. I bet those bird treats didn't last long.

  5. I love that snowman. I hope if we get snow it will be enough to make one! And good on you for making that homemade suet block for the birds. :-)

  11. The schools here were supposed to open again yesterday, but not all of them managed as not all of the teachers could make it to school. But the children (and teens for that matter) love the snow and are out and about sledging and throwing snow balls.

  12. Yes, home schooling looks great fun here :)

    It has not been easy for children and their parents/carers during this lockdown.
    It seems the earliest English Schools could be back is March 8th!

    Take care.

    All the best Jan

  17. It’s very pretty. And Wow,you really did get snow. Probably would have been a snow day off from school even without the Covid lockdown, so I guess that’s one good thing because otherwise you wouldn’t have been there to enjoy it with the grands. (And really that’s the only way I can think I would really enjoy a snow day now.). The bird feeders are so clever!
