Snow is falling to the ground
Piling up in enormous mounds
School is cancelled for the day
Children run outside to play
Snowballs are thrown in the air
No-one has any care
About school – only fun
Because the day is a snowy one
Snowmen are stacked very high
Their top hats almost skim the sky
To make them round they must pat
Then finish off with mittens and hat
As weather gets cold
The children are told
To come inside and eat
Hot chocolate with a couple of treats
Once the children are done
They put on their gear for more fun
Some of them play around
While others just lie on the ground
Another kid makes snow angels
Until the dog named Bojangles
Ran through his masterpiece
But then the owner yelled ‘cease’
After Bojangles
Ruined all the snow angels
The kids skid down the hill
‘Til they were bitten by a chill
Almost over is the day
The children start to walk away
As snow falls, so does the sun
Time to go in, the day is done
(Tilly. - Thank you so much Tilly. Here the snow isn't static, it allows so much life to happen (until it's dark) - who needs Youtube? ... It seems the snow has provided quite a lot of inspiration in the junior school... in poetry as well as sculptures).
