The learning outcomes for our next topic are that we  can use a range of instruments to measure and record weather. Along with this, we will discuss how weather affects our lives. The skills that we will work on are to do with how we interact with each other. We will take time to discuss how to work well in a group or with a partner and we will get to practise this in lots of different situations.

Mrs Cameron gave us some photos to look at but didn’t tell us what they were of. We had a look and a think. On post-its, we wrote what we saw, what we thought they might be or do and what we wondered about them. After that we talked in groups about what we already knew about how to measure weather and what we’d like to learn and do in our topic. It turns out we know quite a lot of different weathers but we don’t know how to measure many of them. Bhavika knew that you could measure how hot or cold the weather is and Laith thought that if we went to the top of a hill, we could measure the weather better than if we stayed in the town. Questions were asked about how we could measure things that we couldn’t see, like wind so as the term goes on, hopefully we’ll come up with some answers.
