UK


Hello everyone,
Sorry we haven't been in touch but.......... the weather is really bad here.
There are floods all over the UK and the temperature has been single figures so its cold.
People have had to canoe in Cockermouth because their houses have been badly damaged by flooding!!!!
People have had to leave their houses and be rescued, they have lost their homes this has caused a lot of depression around England.
Children are finding it hard to get to school and and they are building new bridges so people can go to work, at the weekend there were hailstones.
Luckily it hasn't flooded near us!!!!

Water, Water everywhere and not enough to drink!





Year 6 have continued to work hard on their weather project. They have been monitoring the amount of rainfall that we have experienced over the last week and in a few days time will be ready to present their findings on this blog, in the form of graphs and bar charts. The pictures above, show the rain gauges that were made in class and some of 6G engaged in data collection.


Year 6 have also started to look closely at types of cloud and engaged in discussion about cloud coverage. They've even made links to the Great Storm of 1987. If you know someone in Year 6, you could ask them to tell you about the weather and see if there are any budding weather forecasters in our midst.

Measuring the weather



Yesterday, 6G became meteorologists for the afternoon. Using anemometers made by themselves, they went out to the school playground to begin measuring the wind speed for the afternoon of 12th November. Watch this space for bar graphs and pie charts which will show our data collection over the coming weeks.

The weather report



Sorry we didn’t reply for a few weeks this is because we had half-term last week and the week before we had citizenship week.

Today it is damp and cloudy; there are lots of puddles also it a gloomy day.

The barometer was fairly high. What do you think the weather is like here?

Tip: search through this web site to find the answer.

A Sunny Day at Creek View

The state of Georgia went from a terrible drought to 500 year flood conditions over the last several months.  These pictures show some of Ms. Shields' 3rd grade students enjoying one of the few dry days we've had.  
These pictures were taken on October 22 in our school's Outdoor Classroom also known as the garden.
The very bottom picture show you what kinds of creepy crawlies we get in our classroom when the weather is soggy for a long time! This is a large wolf spider.  They aren't poisonous but the can bite! Sometime we get snakes too!



Hello to Henry Green!  Ms. Shields told us all about her trip to visit you this summer. We are enjoying your weather blog and plan to post comments soon.


Halloween is this weekend and it looks like rain...AGAIN!
