Fascinating Fact:

Rain helps plants and crops to grow, but too much rain can cause floods.

In KS1 Geography, children learn how weather affects everyday life. They explore how sunshine, rain, wind, and snow can help plants grow, change our activities, and sometimes cause problems.

Key Terms

Weather: What the air is like outside each day, such as sunny, rainy, windy, or snowy.
Flood: When too much water covers land that is usually dry, often after heavy rain.
Storm: Very bad weather with strong wind, heavy rain, thunder, or lightning.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How does weather affect our daily lives for KS1?

Weather affects the clothes we wear, how we travel, and what we do outside. For example, we wear coats in cold weather and use sunhats and sun cream when it is hot.

What are the effects of heavy rain on places?

Heavy rain can make rivers rise, paths muddy, and roads slippery. If there is too much rain, it can lead to flooding, which may damage homes, crops, and buildings.

How can we stay safe in stormy weather?

To stay safe in stormy weather, we should go indoors, close windows, and keep away from tall trees and metal objects. Adults may check weather forecasts to plan safe journeys.
