Planning ideas for weather themed Early Years Topic

I have decided to share the first article in a series about planning early years themes on the weather which I am sure will be of some use to my EYFS and early years teacher colleagues. In the link below, you will find a really good introduction and starter ideas to get your weather themed topic off the ground and as the children become more involved they will guide you if you observe their interests closely.
