Weather lacing cards

When I was teaching in the classroom I would always look forward to our topic investigation on ‘weather’.

It’s a topic that children can easily relate to because they are can easily experience it just by stepping outdoors. The weather also makes for a great sensory experience, when children think about temperature or touching snow or crunching leaves that have fallen on the ground.

What is your favourite type of weather?

Weather is usually taught as part of a science unit of work.

In Australia teachers are expected to support children in exploring change in the world around them, including changes that impact on them, such as the weather.

Level 1, children are to explore daily and seasonal weather patterns and how different groups describe them.

Children are to anticipate near future events such as personal milestones and seasons. 

Oh my gosh, there really is so much to cover when teaching a weather topic.
