A song about resilience for all the budding meteorologists and climate scientists. In New Zealand we are surrounded by ocean, so change is the one thing we’re certain of when it comes to the weather. In our climate, kids often need both a raincoat and sunhat on the same day.
This song marvels at the experience of the changing weather and also sends a message that no matter what kind of weather is on the way, it always helps to be prepared.
Climate change is expected to bring lots more extreme weather events now and in future, so understanding how weather forms and how we predict, map and model weather systems is, now more than ever, an essential element in learning journeys.
Kids could do movements with this song to act out the shining, soaring sun with arms outstretched like an airplane, the sprinkling rain with wiggly fingers, or the thundering sky with drumming feet on the ground.
