In the quaint charm of a sunny afternoon, children gathered excitedly in the garden, ready to embark on a delightful project: making their own weather vanes. Armed with an assortment of materials—straw, cardboard, and a sturdy wooden dowel—they were eager to craft a device that would not only be functional but also a reflection of their creativity.

As they fashioned the arrow and the base, there were lively discussions on the importance of wind direction and how their whimsical creations would await the gentle breezes to come alive. A few painted their vanes in vibrant colours, while others adorned them with hand-drawn symbols of animals and nature. Each unique piece would soon stand tall, dancing in the wind like a sentinel, offering a playful yet practical lesson about the ever-changing elements of the weather. With laughter and enthusiasm echoing through the garden, they couldn’t wait to see whose weather vane would best predict the winds of the day.
