Will it Be Sunny Today? – Understanding Seasonal and Daily Weather Patterns
Geography Scheme | Year 2 | Block 3

Weather and seasonal changes are fundamental aspects of geography, shaping the natural environment and influencing human life. This unit introduces Year 2 pupils to the concepts of daily and seasonal weather patterns, helping them build a deeper understanding of how these changes occur and their significance.

Exploring Weather Patterns

The unit focuses on the ways weather changes throughout the day and across the seasons. Pupils will learn to recognise patterns in temperature, precipitation, and daylight hours, connecting these changes to the different times of the year. This knowledge provides an important foundation for understanding the natural cycles that influence life in the UK and other parts of the world.

Seasonal Change and the Natural World

By examining the characteristics of the four seasons, this unit highlights the impact of seasonal change on the environment and human activities. Pupils will develop an awareness of how the seasons affect the landscape, wildlife, and the choices people make in their everyday lives. This understanding supports a broader appreciation of the relationship between humans and the environment.
