Over the Easter break, we experienced all types of weather! Now is a great time to investigate the weather and seasons even further.

In the geography topic, we will take a walk outdoors to find out about different types of weather and to look for signs of the seasons. We’ll study TV weather reports, design weather symbols, and learn about weather around the world. Creative opportunities will allow us to explore weather in works of art and seasonal music! Our thinking skills will come in handy when we set up our weather station and investigate the weather in Keyworth.

In this topic we aim to:

• Learn the common weather patterns observed in the UK,  
• Compare weather in the UK with weather around the world,  
• discover what equipment is used to measure weather conditions,
• interpret a weather forecast and deliver our own forecasts,
• set up and gather data from our KPNS weather station.
   

This topic goes hand in hand with our science topic 'Seasonal Changes' where we will learn about the four seasons and their key features.
