    Louise,

    your description of weather stations seems a little high-tech powered for the Junior classes. I’d suggest more direct measurements using simple materials.

    Infants could start with “moving air” to see if they can make puffs with different strengths – and be asked to use this knowledge to design and make a device to measure wind speed.

    ESERO have this class weather station  – for 3rd/4th class – but could be adapted for younger children.

    Met Eireann have excellent resources on making weather instruments at https://www.met.ie/education/school-resources.
