Do you want to build a snowman?

It's not often these days that snow drifts in to Penwortham but that's what happened on Tuesday morning. A blanket of snow makes everything seem so magical and bright, and we certainly made the most of it whilst it lasted.

Ms Smith's impromptu snowman building competition, set for lunchtime, was swifty brought forward to break as the ice was already melting fast however Year 8's Junior Y managed to gather enough for this tiny figure. The primary schools' 'Breakfast Club in the Hex had more success though, completing their snowmen with high-vis jacket and pom-poms for buttons. Looks like the little ones had lots of fun and they definitely gave us a smile.

Meanwhile, Mr Bullock, who never needs an excuse to get the drone out of its box, managed to take some fantastic photos of Penwortham Priory from above. These were not quite as clear quality as they could be due to the snow which was still coming down!
