Weather Forecast Practice Activities
Class 3 Science and EVS worksheets that help children read simple weather forecasts, symbols, temperatures and daily weather clues.
Practice that builds confidence
Reading a forecast with meaning
These Class 3 Science and EVS weather forecast worksheets help children understand how daily weather information is shown and used. Learners practise reading simple forecast symbols, noticing temperature, identifying sunny, cloudy, rainy or windy conditions, and connecting a forecast to sensible daily choices.
The printable activities include picture-based questions, short forecast charts, matching tasks, fill-in answers and observation prompts. They support the Weather Climate chapter by making forecasts practical: children learn to look for clues, compare days and explain what the weather report is telling them.
A weather forecast is a prediction of what the weather may be like. In Class 3, children do not need complex meteorology; they need to read common clues accurately. These worksheets focus on simple representations such as sun, cloud, rain, umbrella, wind arrows and temperature in degree Celsius. Children practise answering questions like “Which day is likely to be rainy?” or “What should you carry if the forecast shows rain?”
Building weather vocabulary
The activities strengthen useful words from the Science and EVS breadcrumb: weather, climate, forecast, temperature, cloudy, sunny, windy, rainy and stormy. Children also learn that weather can change from day to day, while climate describes the usual weather of a place over a long period. This distinction is important because many children use both words as if they mean the same thing.
A simple routine for parents
At home, choose one day’s weather report from a newspaper, phone or television. Ask your child to name the symbol, say whether it looks hot, cool, rainy or windy, and decide one action: carry a water bottle, wear a cap, take an umbrella or avoid drying clothes outside. Then let the child complete one worksheet question using the same thinking: look, read, decide and explain.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during a Weather Climate lesson, as EVS revision, or in small group centres. One group can match symbols to meanings, another can answer questions from a forecast table, and another can create a two-day class forecast after observing the sky. The sheets also work well for oral discussion because children can justify their choices in simple sentences.
Common errors to watch for
Children may think a forecast is always correct, so remind them it is a careful prediction. Some may ignore units and read temperature only as a number; guide them to say “degrees Celsius”. Others may choose clothing from personal preference instead of the weather clue. Wind direction and cloud symbols can also be confusing, so ask children to point to the evidence before answering.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets move from recognising weather pictures to interpreting short forecasts and making real-life decisions. A child-friendly strategy is “See the symbol, read the word, think of the action.” This keeps the skill concrete: if you see rain, think umbrella; if you see bright sun, think shade and water; if you see clouds and wind, think carefully before planning outdoor play.
