Fascinating Fact:

Sometimes there are storms with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.

In KS1 Geography, children learn about different types of weather and how they affect our lives. They discover how sunny, rainy, windy, and snowy days can change what we do outside.

  • Weather: What the air is like outside each day, such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, or snowy.
  • Storm: Very bad weather with strong wind, heavy rain, thunder, or lightning.
  • Forecast: A prediction that tells us what the weather is likely to be soon.
What are the main types of weather for KS1?

The main types of weather for KS1 are sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, and snowy. Children also learn about fog, mist, and sometimes more extreme weather like very strong wind.

How does weather affect what we wear at school?

Weather affects our clothing choices. On warm, sunny days we might wear a sunhat and light clothes, while on cold or wet days we need coats, hats, gloves, and sometimes wellies.
