Wind Vanes

Today year 6 have been learning about wind vanes.


A wind vane is a instrument that people use to measure the strength and direction of the wind. Meteorologist use wind vanes to tell which way the wind is blowing and to warn cities if there is going to be a storm, gail winds, a hurricane or a tornado.
We made our own wind vanes so we can measure the direction and strength of the wind, they were very hard to make.
We have also been trying to fly kites out in the wind but it was very unsuccessful today.

It didn’t work because there was hardly any wind, we were not allowed to run with it because if we did it would not have been a natural sources of wind.
