Record average rainfall, sunshine and temperature - Worksheet - Year 1

This worksheet is designed for Year 1 students to learn about weather patterns and seasonal changes throughout the year. The task involves recording data on average rainfall, the amount of sunshine per day, and temperature for each month, from January through December. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from their teacher in order to find the necessary information to complete the chart. Once the data is gathered and the chart is filled in, students will have the opportunity to analyse the information and answer questions such as identifying the hottest and wettest months, as well as the month that experiences the most sunshine.

The educational activity extends beyond data collection and encourages students to think about the broader implications of the data. They are prompted to consider how seasons change and to discuss what characteristics define the summer season. This can lead to a greater understanding of the world around them, the concept of seasons, and how weather can vary throughout the year. The activity is not only a practical exercise in recording meteorological data but also a discussion starter for young learners to explore the environment and the cyclical patterns that affect daily life.
