Description
Support young learners in exploring and understanding the natural world with the Investigating Weather & Seasons Resource Collection 3–7yrs. This carefully curated set of high-quality outdoor resources encourages hands-on outdoor investigation, helping children observe, measure and respond to weather patterns and seasonal changes in a safe and engaging environment.
Featuring colourful twisters, windmills, magic wheels, spinners, ribbons, turbines, sheer scarves, water sliders and clear umbrellas, this collection allows children to investigate wind direction and speed, explore movement caused by air and observe how weather changes affect their surroundings. Children also enhance fine and gross motor skills while manipulating the resources, running experiments or participating active challenges with peers. The resources are durable and made from weather-resistant materials that are built to withstand busy outdoor use year-round.
This collection supports children to develop early enquiry skills as they make predictions, record observations, compare results and discuss findings. Use our Set of Wooden Chalkboards or Set of Outdoor Dry Erase Pockets to capture findings for example, children might time how fast a windmill spins in different weather conditions, measure how long a ribbon moves in the breeze, or measure the size of puddles. Extend challenges and introduce the Investigating Weather & Seasons KS1 Enrichment Collection to provide additional tools for deeper atmospheric exploration. These experiences encourage curiosity, problem-solving and communication skills, whilst fostering a growing appreciation for the environment.
Children also develop a sense of responsibility and collaboration as they work together to observe weather patterns, set up experiments and take care of resources. They can create seasonal charts, design weather-based games or record daily observations, supporting teamwork, social interaction and reflective thinking.
Perfect for year-round outdoor use, the Investigating Weather & Seasons Resource Collection 3–7yrs creates an engaging and flexible environment that inspires scientific enquiry, creativity and active exploration.
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.
