Fun in the Snow

It was so lovely to see all the boys & girls with their families returning after the Christmas Break - thank you so much for all the lovely Christmas wishes, gifts and cards we received.  

We didn't get enough snow to make a snowman yet we had fun exploring and drawing in the snow - we even checked if chalk would work in the snow.  Fingers crossed the weather warms up and the only snow fall is at the weekends!!!

 

Rory spotted some signs of winter when he went to feed the ducks at the Quoile and realised it was frozen. And also at Dunleath where he walked on the frosty grass and ice puddles.
