This week in Year 1D we became weather explorers! We have been learning about different types of weather and discovering how wind works.

We started by talking about the kinds of weather we see throughout the year. The children shared lots of great ideas such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy and windy weather. We discussed how the weather can change from day to day and why it is important to wear the right clothes for different types of weather.

This week our activity was exploring the wind. We went outside to feel the wind on our faces and watch how it moved the trees and leaves. We held a windmill and saw how a windsock shows us how windy it is and where the wind blows from.

We made our own colourful wind socks from cardboard tubes and took them for. a run across the playground to see how the wind caught the streamers and made them move in the breeze.

Back in the classroom we became weather reporters and described the weather using our new vocabulary. 1D has a weather chart to record the weather every day.
