Now that it is Spring, we expect the weather to be very changeable. Sometimes it may be bright sunshine and then quickly become cloudy and begin to rain.
Your mission is to predict the weather for the coming week. A prediction is an educated guess about what is going to happen. You should observe (look at) the weather today, use your knowledge to think about how the weather normally is in Spring and use a safe internet browser to research all about the weather before you make your predictions.
Use each day of the week and write a short sentence describing how the weather will be. You could also draw a picture for each day.
Language you could use: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, snow, rain, clouds, sun, blowing, frosty, icy, dry, wet, bare, buds, leaves, flowers, green, orange, red, brown, grass, mud, soil, dust, rainbow, umbrella, shadows, puddles, boots, sandals, coats, shorts.
Challenge: Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. You use a thermometer to measure temperature in units called degrees Celsius.
- 1000 degrees Celsius is the temperature of a candle flame.
- At 100 degrees Celsius water boils and turns into steam.
- 40 degrees Celsius is about the temperature of a hot bath.
- The temperature of the air on a hot day is about 32 degrees Celsius
- 3 degrees Celsius is the temperature you would expect inside a fridge.
- At 0 degrees Celsius water turns to ice.
- On snowy days the temperature is often below -2 degrees Celsius.
On Tuesday at 11am it was 12 degrees Celsius, could you try to predict the temperature for the coming week?
Today is sunny. Tomorrow I guess it will be sunny as well because it is not winter anymore. It is Spring now. There is no cloud on London so tomorrow will be sunny. Because there is grey cloud the rain will come!
Looks like your prediction was correct Maya, it is another sunny spring day today. Thankfully no grey clouds out of my window so hopefully the rain will stay away.
Today was sunny and windy. I think next week is going to be sunny and it would be summer.
Summer begins on the 20th June Ruby Mae, so we need to wait 12 more weeks till Summer (that’s about three months). If you have a calendar on mummy’s phone or computer you could count how many days of spring we have left until summer begins.
Today is very cold and sunny. I think Thursday it will be sunny and a little cold. I think Friday will be cold and cloudy, every day of the week can be different.
Your prediction for Thursday was correct, it is sunny and a little cold. What temperature is it today Harlow? What temperature do you predict it will be on Friday?
It might rain and be sunny because the flowers need to grow. Then we might get a rainbow!
Yes we need plenty of rain to make all the lovely spring flowers grow. I went for a short walk yesterday and saw a buzzing bumble bee, I bet he’s excited for when all the flowers start to grow. I love it when I get to see a rainbow. Have you seen all the beautiful rainbow pictures that children all over the world have been making as a sign of hope? Maybe you could make one too? If you do, send it to the school office and they will send it to me so I can share it in our blog.
Today is lovely and sunny and we are going to sit on our roof, but we need to bring a coat as it is very breezy. I think tomorrow it will be sunny but chilly and I hope the weekend will be the same! We have put a rainbow in our window too for all the children to spot.
Sitting on the roof sounds like great fun! It is quite windy today isn’t it? I have the window open in my kitchen where I’m using the laptop and I’m wearing my jumper to keep warm. I would love to see your rainbow. Send a picture to the school office if you can?
We check the weather for the next week, it is going to be cloudy and on Monday it will rain.
Today is sunny and we are going to go to the park to do exercise.
Today is Saturday. When I woke up it was sunny, then during the morning there were some clouds. The clouds were moving because the wind was blowing. At lunchtime the sky was full of clouds and I thought it was going to rain. Now it’s afternoon and it’s not raining.
Guessing weather in Spring is hard.
My mom told me that in Italy they say that the weather in Spring is crazy and it made me laugh!
It is cloudy and cold today. I only see a little sunshine.
I think it will be hotter tomorrow and summer will come soon.
