Snow Day Fun for Year 2 ❄️ 09.01.26

What a lovely surprise to wake up to snow! As school is closed today, we hope you can enjoy some special time together. Snow days are very exciting and don’t happen very often, so please enjoy them, have fun, and make some happy memories.

If it’s safe to go outside, here are some simple learning activities your child can enjoy at home:

🔢 Maths Task
Use the snow to support maths learning:

• Count snowballs, stones, or footsteps in 2s, 5s, or 10s

• Measure how long or tall something is using footsteps or objects

• Compare amounts: How many snowballs altogether? How many more or fewer?

• Challenge: Can your child write a number sentence to match? (e.g. 6 + 4 = 10)

🔤 Spelling / Phonics Task

• Practise spelling words from your child’s spelling list by writing them in the snow

• Write tricky words or common exception words

• Challenge: Can your child put one of the words into a sentence and say it out loud?

✏️ Writing Task

• Draw a picture of the snowy day and write a short description

• Encourage full sentences using capital letters and full stops

• Challenge: Can they write 3–5 sentences describing what they can see, hear, or feel?
  (e.g. The snow feels cold. I can hear my boots crunching.)

Wrap up warm, stay safe, and enjoy this snowy day together. Make the most of it — we don’t get snow very often! We look forward to seeing everyone back at school soon.
