Fascinating Fact:

Weather records help us see that our planet’s weather is changing over time, with more very hot days in some places than in the past.

In KS1 Science, children learn to observe the weather each day and record it. Simple charts and diaries help them spot patterns, talk about seasons, and begin to understand climate.

  • Weather Diary: A daily record of what the weather is like, such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, or snowy.
  • Temperature: A measure of how hot or cold it is outside.
  • Climate: The usual weather in a place over a long time, not just one day.
Why should KS1 children keep a weather diary?

A weather diary helps KS1 children notice daily changes, use scientific words like sunny or windy, practise recording data, and begin to see simple weather patterns.

What should I include in a simple weather diary?

Include the date, type of weather, temperature if possible, and short notes or pictures, such as “sunny and warm” or “rainy with strong wind.”

How does a weather diary link to learning about climate change?

By recording weather, children see that data is used to spot trends. Scientists use long-term records in a similar way to notice the Earth getting warmer.
