Year One – What is the Weather Like in the UK?

Year One thoroughly enjoyed exploring the topic "What is the weather like in the UK?" This exciting topic helped the children learn all about the four seasons, different types of weather, and the clothing we wear throughout the year.

We also discovered the compass points – North, South, East, and West and learned how they help us understand wind direction. As part of our learning, the children created their own weather streamers to check which way the wind was blowing.

The highlight was taking our streamers out onto the school field, where Year One had lots of fun testing them and watching how the wind moved them. It was a wonderful hands-on way to bring our weather learning to life!

They also sang, 'Go the distance' from Hercules, 'Something just like this,'

'Fight song,' by Rachel Platten, 'Walking on sunshine,' by Katrina and the Waves, 'Clap your hands and sing Hallelujah,' 'Will you be there' and they sang and signed a beautiful song by Bob Chilcott called, 'Can you hear me?'
