you can measure how much rain has fallen on a certain day or over night...

take a plastic bottle and cut the top off
this will be your container to catch the rain

then you can use a wooden spoon and take a pen and make markings on it for cms or inches
the spoon bit could also be decorated...faces or something..get mindees to do that activity too!

then once some rain has collected get the kids to dip the spoon into the bottle and measure (counting!!) how much rain has fallen

here is a link to a page that has quite a few more weather ideas

Talk about how the weather affects what we wear, how we have to use sun cream, shades and hats in hot weather, mittens hat and gloves etc in cold weather, umberallas and wellies in rainy weather, high visability clothing when it's foggy. This would come under self care for PSE.
