Enabling Environments: Studio tour - Behind the scenes

Children from Clifton Tots in Bristol put themselves in the picture at a local TV studio. Nursery manager Amelia Jebelli describes the big day.

One of our popular morning rituals is to discuss the day's weather during circle time. The children like to talk about whether it is warm or cold, wet or dry, and if the sun is out or if it is cloudy. We select weather symbols to put on a board for the day.

Many of the children see weather forecasts on breakfast TV before they come into nursery in the mornings and they refer to that when we discuss what the weather is like. This got us talking about how it would be nice to see a proper weatherboard and find out how a weather forecast is produced.
