Rain or Shine weather forecasting. 5-11 years
What is a Meteorologist? How do they help us keep safe? In this session you will learn about why weather forecasts are important, the symbols we use in our forecasts and produce your own forecast with the help of the Met Office.

This session will introduce the concept of climate and climate change. We will explore the difference between weather and climate, how our climate system is undergoing change and how we can help.
