Weather Chart Series
The Weather Chart provides a fun and interactive way for students to track daily weather patterns in the classroom. Along with this chart, we offer a selection of themed designs to match different classroom decor styles, introducing weather vocabulary, seasonal changes, and observational skills.
Students will learn to identify temperature variations (boiling, hot, warm, mild, cool, cold, freezing) and describe different weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, stormy, snowy, etc.).
This resource is perfect for morning routines, calendar time, or as part of a Science and HASS unit on weather and seasons.
Learning goals
- We are learning to describe daily and seasonal changes and how they affect everyday life.
- We are learning to describe how objects move and that their movement depends on their size and shape.
- We are learning to explore actions that make sounds, how to make a variety of sounds and recognise that sound energy causes objects to vibrate.
- We are learning to understand that seasons and daily weather changes impact our everyday life.
- We are learning to understand that we can use our senses to identify light and sound made by different sources.
