Observing and Recording the Weather

On the 3rd October, whilst we were still getting summer sunshine, we started learning about what different weathers we might see over the four seasons.

We explored what the weather might be like in Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring and we created our own weather maps. We learnt about all the different symbols used by meteorologists and even had a go presenting our own weather forecast using this website: http://www.bluesquarething.co.uk/geography/dragdropmap/ukweathermap.html

We were also very lucky to meet weather presenter Clare Nassir who read us her new book Colin the Cloud. Through this we learnt about different cloud types and how they travel around the world.

The children loved hearing the story about Colin which also taught them about different types of clouds.

Over the next few months we will be setting up our own weather station then observing and recording the weather using simple equipment.
