Learning Map Where we’re up to

Dressing for the Weather

Your child can pick clothes to suit the weather. A coat for rain, a sun hat for hot days, warm layers for the cold. They know the weather shapes their plans.

In curriculum terms

Choose appropriate clothing and equipment for different weather conditions — coat and umbrella for rain, sun hat and sunscreen for hot sun, warm layers for cold — understanding that weather affects what we do and how we prepare each day

Try this together

Before going outside, can your child check the weather and choose the right clothes — like grabbing a raincoat if it's cloudy or a sun hat if it's hot?
