Snowball Activity We were asked to fill in 8 sections on a piece of paper… Then, between each answer, we got to make a snowball out of the piece of paper and throw it around the room so that someone else caught it and then answered the next question. It was great fun.

Snowball Activity Section 1 Can you spell the word Penniless? Section 2 - mark the response (Penniless) Section 3 - Identify one thing you enjoy about being at Buxton School? Section 4 - You could add a comment or ask a question Section 5 - Name one thing you would like to change about being at Buxton School? Section 6 - You could add a comment or ask a question Section 7- What one thing do you wish your teacher knew about you? Section 8 - What advise can you give them to ensure this happens?
