Weather around the World

In year 3, we have been learning all about weather around the world. We studied four main climate zones on Earth—tropical, temperate, desert and polar. We looked at these zones by  further dividing them into smaller zones, each with their own typical climate. We found out that a region’s climate, together with its physical characteristics, determines its plant and animal life.

We have had so much fun exploring how to use PowerPoint to create fact files on these climate zones; we created some beautiful artwork in relation to this and we conducted lots of interesting experiments.  
Take a look below to see some of our work...


Examples of our Art Work




We worked hard to decorate our classroom...





Whilst learning about the physical characteristics of different weathers, we learnt about the water cycle. In order to understand how rain and snow were produced, we conducted a number of experiments.

In one of our investigations, we looked at how long a cloud could hold rain for before it became to heavy.






It's been a lot of fun! Well done 3C, you have produced some excellent work this term.
