Measuring the wind

 During science this term, we have been learning about the seasons. This afternoon, we have been finding ways to measure the wind. The children followed instructions for how to make wind socks then we went outside to hang them and observe the wind. We then got together in groups and used the Beaufort scale to decide how to categorise the wind. The children decided that today was number 3 on the scale as tales on the windsocks were gently moving and the windsock moved up and down. We also noticed that we could feel the wind lift our hair.
