Investigating Weather & Seasons KS1 Enrichment Collection

Support your KS1 curriculum with the Investigating Weather & Seasons KS1 Enrichment Collection, a ready-made set of durable, easy-to-use resources designed to extend outdoor learning and promote scientific enquiry. Thoughtfully curated by Early Excellence specialists, this collection enables young learners to develop observation, recording and analytical skills while exploring weather patterns and seasonal changes throughout the year.

The collection includes practical tools including a rain gauge, weather vane, classroom thermometer, whiteboards and weather charts, allowing children to gather, record and interpret data with growing confidence.
Activities such as tracking rainfall, monitoring wind direction, recording temperature, and observing seasonal changes encourage careful observation, systematic recording and discussion of findings.

These activities link directly to the KS1 National Curriculum, supporting Science learning through observing and recording daily and seasonal weather patterns, and Design & Technology learning through carrying out practical investigations, evaluating outcomes, and reflecting on processes. Children can work independently or collaboratively to monitor and compare weather conditions, fostering critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills.

For extended outdoor learning, this collection complements the Exploring Nature KS1 Enrichment Collection and the Gardening & Growing KS1 Enrichment Collection, offering rich, cross-curricular opportunities to develop confident, inquisitive learners who observe, record, and understand the natural world.

Explore the full range of Investigating Weather & Seasons resources to enhance your early years outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
