Teaching our children about the weather!

Parents, teachers and children might like to check out the Weather Wiz Kids website run by meteorologist Crystal Wicker.

Weather Wiz Kids is designed to teach our kids about the weather, how it happens and why – and offers an array of activity sheets, games and experiments.

Encouraging our children to learn more about the weather is particularly relevant to us at the moment.  We are in Queensland.  We are safe and well, but have seen the devastation caused by the extensive flooding in Queensland Australia.

It’s not all about extreme weather though!  It is important for our children to learn about the rain, the wind, the clouds, thunder and lightening – Weather Wiz Kids helps with this.

Thanks to Crystal Wicker for offering an invaluable resource for our children, parents and teachers!
