Snow Day

When I woke up this morning I thought the whole world had been magically covered in icing sugar overnight! It looked so pretty all over the ground and the trees and the houses. I was just thinking I should try a spoonful when I realised it had snowed, just like on lots of my Christmas cards! I couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. I bolted down my breakfast and got dressed up in my warm scarf, cardigan and wellingtons, and then ran outside!

 All my friends had come out to play too, and one of them had a sledge, so we all set off to a nearby hill. We dragged the sledge to the top and then we climbed on and slid all the way to the bottom! The sledge went faster and faster and faster and we all went ‘WHEEEEEE’ as it went down, until it hit a pile of snow at the bottom of the hill and we were all thrown out into a big giggling pile!

Since we were covered in snow anyway we decided to make snow angels. I lay on my back and moved my arms and legs up and down and got even more snow on me! I licked a bit just to see if it tasted like icing sugar but it didn’t really. Then I stood up and saw a perfect angel imprinted in the snow. It was so much fun that I lay down to make another one! By the time we’d all finished there were dozens of angels across the snow!

 We pulled the sledge back home and then set about building a snowdog on my front lawn. We got our spades out and shovelled snow into a pile, then made the head to go on top, with ears sticking up just like mine! It had to have a carrot for its nose too so that it was a proper snowdog.

 We were quite tired by then so we all went inside for some hot chocolate. I was going to offer the snowdog some but decided it would be better off staying cold!

With snowflakes and spots,
