WeatherWatchers

Poke the buttons under the window. The sky changes! Now you be the weather reporter — pick the right clothes, count the week, and read the story of Little Cloud.

Look — spot five kinds of weather
Sort — match clothes to the sky
Count — build a weather bar chart

Part 1 · Words to know

Five weather words

Tap a card to hear what the word means. Can you find that weather outside your own window later today?

Part 2 · Sorting game

Tap one thing from the tray, then tap its weather basket. 0 of 12

Part 3 · Maths · Handling data

Our weather week

Seven days. Tap a day, then tap the column where it belongs. Blocks stack up from the bottom — just like real charts do.

Little Cloud’s Big Day

Page 1 of 5

Grow-up tip: pause on page 3 and ask — “What does the rain need to do before it falls?” Then go outside and look for it together.

Lesson notes

Objectives

Name five kinds of weather and the words for them.
Match clothing and gear to weather conditions, with a reason.
Collect seven days of information and display it as a block graph.
Answer “most / least / none” questions about the chart.

You will need

This screen (or the printed page).
Real things if you can: a hat, an umbrella, mittens, a kite.
A notebook for tomorrow’s home weather chart.

Talk about it

“Which days were rainy in our chart?”
“Why do clouds turn grey before rain?”
“What weather do you like best, and why?”

Stretch & support

Support: do the chart together with real weather each morning for a week.
Stretch: add temperature — order the five days from coldest to warmest.

Home task · take it outside

Look out the window at breakfast. Draw the sky.
Touch the grass at dinner — is it wet? What does that tell you?
Listen for 1 minute. Can you hear wind, rain or birds?
Make a wind vane: a straw, a paper arrow, a pin.
Puddle jumping is scientifically important. Approved.
Write tomorrow’s weather in your notebook.

Next up — Month 2 · Lesson 3: “Where Does Rain Go?” The water cycle as a kitchen-sink experiment, plus the words evaporate, condense and collect.
