This term we have been learning about weather and climate. We have learnt about the weather in our area and the affect the weather has on what we do and what we wear. We put out a rain gauge and thermometer and kept a weather diary to see if we could spot any weather patterns. We made sure we went outside every Wednesday, whatever the weather, to see what the weather was like and found it interesting to see the changes in the weather each week.

We learnt about the 4 seasons and the types of weather in each season. We enjoyed writing our own weather forecasts and even made videos of us all presenting our forecasts, which was fun to do. The best part of this project was going on a trip to the Lerwick Weather Observatory. We walked with P3b to the observatory and watched as the weather balloon was prepared and then released. We were able to find out what the balloon does and how the observatory receives the data.
