Fun in the Snow

There are lots of different things you can do in the snow. “What?” you might ask? Well, first of all you can make stuff, you can play in it and you can see and take photos of amazing views

There are lots of different things you can make in snow like snowmen, snow angels, and snow balls. “How do you make these?” you might ask? Well, to make a snow man it is as simple as rolling one big ball of snow. Then another slightly smaller one. Put these on top of each other. Get some sticks stones and accessories and add them just for fun. Then you might ask “How do you make a snow angel?” “Well this is pretty simple to do, just lay on the ground and move your arms and legs in and out. Once you have down snow angels, you might want to make some snowballs, to have a snow ball fight with your family. Just grab a hand full of snow, roll it into a ball, make a few of these and your ready to fight.”

The other day, I went to the saddle road, where I got some amazing view, while it was snowing. I got pictures of mist in front of windmills, snow gliding through the air, me and my family having a huge snow ball fight and my puppy ace running through it. This is why snow is so beautifully amazing!

Also in snow there are many activity's including skiing which is where you have two boards and to pointers which are thin sticks. These thin sticks help you to gain speed. Then there is snowboarding. Snowboarding is done with one wooden long board which you stand on. If you find just snow boarding round with someone pushing you try finding a big hill and snowboarding down that. Once you are good at these you can enter competitions and win awards.

Now you have read my explanation I bet you cant wait to get out there and give it all ago. The good thing is all snow activities are for all ages apart from some competition entry's and height restrictions thankfully these only apply on the activities like skiing and snow boarding.

Then I discussed it with Miss Matangi-Hulls so I know where I'm at in my writing learning and my next steps.
