After a good night’s sleep, I awoke hoping for more snow. Gently, I swung open my still curtains and right in front of me was a blanket of white snow. To my delight our snowman, built the previous day, was still on duty guarding us as we slept. Excited, I made my way down to the playroom to see if school was closed. Nervously, I pushed in the square button and the dull colour changed to an attractive light blue. Like a dog waiting for his bone, I opened up Radio Solent and there I saw it, our school was closed. A happy feeling invaded my sleeping spine and suddenly I was fully awake.
With no time to lose, I ran outside and admired our wonderful snowman. I was naughty and started throwing snow balls at him but he was just too strong and remained standing. Cold, I decided to go in and watch television. Mum said that baby Sophie was coming round. Slowly, her car pulled up alongside our house and her cheeks soon lit up the grey skies. She gave me a small smile but a tight hug; I was feeling very special. Hungry, I ate a cheese toasty with crisps. After that it was time for Sophie to go home.
My friends Craig and Glen had a snowball fight with me whilst building their snowman. All the young children joined in and we had a super time. Mum came out with some hot chocolate to warm our freezing bodies. Soon the sky turned a crimson red and the sun set; it was time to have a lovely dinner. Even though I was hoping for school to be closed the next day, I was still looking forward to seeing all my friends. As I snuggled up in bed, I looked back at what a great day I had had in the snow. Hopefully, it will come again soon.
If the snow lasted for ever, we would never have to go to school!
