Fascinating Fact:

Mixed weather can happen in one day, starting sunny, turning rainy, then ending with a bright, breezy sky.

In KS1 Science, children learn to notice different types of weather, such as sunshine, rain, wind, clouds and snow, and describe how the sky can change during the day.

Key Terms

  • Weather: What the air is like outside now, for example sunny, rainy, cloudy or windy.
  • Forecast: A prediction that tells us what the weather is likely to be.
  • Wind: Moving air that can feel gentle like a breeze or strong like a gust.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What types of weather do KS1 children learn about?

KS1 children learn to name and describe common weather types, including sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy and foggy, and to talk about what they might wear in each.

How can I help KS1 pupils observe different types of weather?

You can make a simple weather chart, look at the sky each day, feel the wind, and record if it is sunny, rainy, cloudy or snowy over a week.

Why can the weather change several times in one day?

The weather can change quickly because clouds, air and rain clouds move across the sky, and the sun’s warmth and wind direction can change during the day.
