Hot porridge when it's breakfast time;
     Warm clothes to keep me warm.
My *wellies and a  good raincoat,
     And I’m protected from the storm.

​

The rain comes pitter-pattering,
     The wind blows loud and strong,
But I’m racing off towards my school.
     It doesn’t take me long.

​

Then the rain beats on the window panes
     Whilst the wind knocks at the doors.
They’re angry that they can’t come in,
     But their tantrums we’ll ignore.

​

A tee-shirt for the summer sun,
    Some shorts to keep me cool,
'And a hat and also sun-cream too,' -
      A most important rule!

​

The sun shines brightly in our room
    And says: 'Come out and play,' 
And I hate to stay inside and work
     When it’s a sunny day.

​

The weather plays a vital role
     In the life of everyone,
But for children, well, a sunny day
     Means playing out!  That’s fun!
