Groundhog Day

Thursday 2nd February

Today is Groundhog day - C is the best informed of all of us about what that seems to mean - the groundhog pops up his head - if he sees his shadow he goes back to sleep as there will be another 6 weeks of winter, if not spring is just around the corner. G informed us that from the statistical analysis conducted in her Math(!) lesson that since records began (there seemed to be several hundred years worth of them - is this the oldest thing in USA?) on all but 5 instances the groundhog has seen his shadow. It was the case this year too. Maybe more sledging opportunities exist. Here is the tongue twister "how much ground would a groundhog hog,if a groundhog could hog ground?"
