A Snowy Surprise!
Lying in bed I heard Dad clomping up the stairs. I played dead but I still couldn’t resist opening my eyes when Dad said “Mills look outside!” My eyes flew open and before me was a white blanket of snow that covered as far as the eye could see. No wonder it was so cold I thought to myself.
“Ahh!” Breakfast was over and our bags were packed. The horses were happily trotting from their ‘victory’ of getting together, thanks for holding Gidget Georgina. My sister, my brother and I were having a snowball fight. John was screaming like a girl. Vroom, vroom! “Let’s throw snowballs at Dad’s truck!” We did and I got a big hunk of snow on Dad’s windscreen. “School now!” he announced angrily. “Ohhhh!” we chorused simultaneously.
Crunch, crunch. Walking inside the school gates I headed into school as normal when out came Xavier and Jonny with a welcome party for me: throwing snowballs at me and brrr it was cold!!
Mr Osmond let us play in the snow until quarter to ten; this was partly because he wanted photos of us playing in the snow. We headed back inside when who do you suppose came? The Wanganui Chronicle doing a report on the snow in Fordell. Four boys went out to play in the snow again so the Chronicle could get a few photos.
Bring, bring. Morning tea time, more snow play! For all of the twenty minutes of playtime I threw snowballs at a countless amount of people. Bring, bring. Back to class we all trudged, disappointed that morning tea was over. Seeing our solemn faces Mr Osmond said that if we worked well for about an hour he would take us out in the snow again for twenty minutes. A cry of joy leapt from our mouths. We were to go out in the snow again until lunch time!
There were many bonus’s of the snow coming to Fordell. Hardly doing any schoolwork was one of them. We are hoping that snow comes again someday!
