Year 2 Geography - Seasonal and Daily Weather Patterns

Year 2 Weather and Seasons Geography

This Year 2 geography unit, Will It Be Sunny Today?, helps pupils explore daily weather patterns, seasonal changes and how weather affects everyday life. Across six lessons, pupils observe conditions, collect simple weather data and begin to recognise patterns over time.

Pupils compare weather in different parts of the UK, learn what meteorologists do and consider how extreme weather could affect a school environment. Recognised as Highly Commended by the Geographical Association, this unit includes lesson plans, teaching slides, differentiated activities and assessment opportunities to support progression across KS1 geography.
