Brrr!! it’s so horrible and cold outside. I hear that so often as I arrive at school during winter. I think to myself, winter’s not horrible, winter is great , there is so much you can do!
Firstly you can go ice skating. I like ice skating because you can do tricks on the ice, like doing the caterpillar and making bubbles. Here in Christchurch, you can go to Alpine Ice skating rink. If you want to try ice skating outside, you can go to Lake Lyndon. Even here at school you can have fun stomping on icy puddles and writing your name on icy seats with your fingers.
The second great thing about winter is when it snows. I love the snow. You can make a snowman, a snow angel and have a snowball fight. These are all fun things to do with your family and friends.
If you want to you can even travel to a ski field like Mt Hutt and try skiing or snowboarding. When you get really good you can try out for the Winter Olympics. How cool would that be, to get a gold medal.
Lastly, once you have finished playing outside, you can have hot drinks, yum!! Hot chocolate with marshmallows are delicious! They will warm you up.
Now you know why I think winter is not horrible, there is just so many things you can do.
