The children who attend my nursery are fascinated by the sky. How do I support their interest?
Start by looking up at the sky when you're outside and get the children to identify what they see. Tell them about the different types of clouds - cumulus, nimbostratus and cirrus are great words for them to learn. Read about clouds, write poems and stories and draw and paint clouds. Good books include Cloudland by John Burningham.
