Target Practice at Lord Lansdowne School!

Children throw snowballs.
Snowball throwing is not allowed at school.
Children STILL throw snowballs!
So, what do you do? You provide them with a target to direct their snowball throwing urges towards!

Ms. Mills mentioned this plan at a school council meeting a little while back and I think it is a lovely, positive solution to allow the children to enjoy the snow and give in to their snowball throwing urges!

Does it work? Well, I can attest to its popularity, at the least as I had to ask some children to stand back and away for a few seconds to get the photo you see here! I also saw line-ups to use it yesterday morning and today.
