Diving Into Books (DIBS)

Have a think, if you could play in the snow what would you play? Would you build a snowman? Would you have a snowball fight or would you make a snow angel? 

Draw yourself playing in the snow and have a go at writing some words explaining what you are doing. Don't worry if you can't write the whole word, what does the word start with? You could just write the initial sound. Use your Fred Talk to help you. Here is an example...

Enrichment opportunities 

Snow challenges!!!

Can you build a snowman with ten buttons? Count each one as you place them on your snowman.
