Half-term fun
Make the most of the week's dry weather!

With high pressure making an appearance this October half-term, here are some fun ideas to keep you busy whatever the weather.

While some of us are experiencing more sunshine than others, there will be plenty of dry weather. Here are some suggestions of what you can do with a range of activities available.

Exploring the outdoors is one of the options open to you, especially with children, a nature walk is the perfect opportunity to take in your local environment.

In particular, take advantage of the vibrant autumnal colours that are starting to develop, which can still be found in numerous hot spots, especially in arboretums or woodlands.

If there is still rain in your area however, as there is a little in the forecast, there’s no need to let it ruin your week, in fact it opens a world of new possibilities.

You could take advantage of our Weather School experiments, such as one of these ideas listed below:

  • Make your very own cloud in a bottle!
  • Create a sun dial
  • You could even make your own barometer
