Through hands-on activities and creative projects, students have deepened their understanding of what we see above us and how weather affects our daily lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights was creating colourful mobiles featuring objects found in the sky. Can you find the sun, moon, clouds and stars? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students also became meteorologists by building their own rain gauges using plastic water bottles, masking tape and rocks. They learned how to measure rainfall and discussed how weather data helps us prepare for different conditions. These practical experiences have helped bring science to life and encouraged students to observe the world around them more closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kelly Garcia, Erin Horne and Clare Wood<\/strong><br>Year 1 Teachers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18606\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18604\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18605\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" data-id=\"18607\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1024x879.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-768x659.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-1536x1319.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed-175x150.jpg 175w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/unnamed.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 1 have been busy exploring the wonders of the sky and weather as a part of their Science unit.
