What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

📖 Reading Passage – Weather Today 
Weather tells us how the air feels and looks outside. Every day can bring different weather. On sunny days, the sky is clear and blue. The Sun shines brightly and everything feels warm. Children love to play outside when it is sunny. On rainy days, big grey clouds fill the sky. Water drops fall from the clouds. We must carry an umbrella and wear a raincoat to stay dry. Rain helps plants and trees grow. On cloudy days, the weather feels cool and nice. Sometimes, a gentle wind blows and we can fly colourful kites. Weather also helps us choose what to wear — cotton clothes in summer and woollen clothes in winter.
