Before visiting the snowfields we went to the Snowy Hydro Information Centre. We called in at the Ski Hire Centre to get our gear first. We were armed with our snow boots, snow overalls and our giant waterproof jackets. Once we were dressed it didn’t take long to get to the snowfields.
Everyone was excited and pointing at the snow when we first turned the corner and saw it in the distance.
Excitedly, we arrived at the base of the snowfields at Perisher. The bus pulled up and we couldn’t wait to get off and play in the snow. We walked through the car park and looked for somewhere to play for the next two hours. The perfect spot was found next to the Alpine church. At first we started playing in the snow, but then some of us decided to slide down the hills.
We had a snowman building competition and we all made snow angels. After that we made an Oakville Public School sign out of snowballs.
We headed back next to the buses for our lunch. Lots of crows came to join us! As the clouds came over they grew darker and darker, and then as we left it started to snow! What a great day it was.
