PARENTS & TEACHERS
If you love the weather — or you’re a teacher planning a fun and interactive way to explore it with your class — then this calendar is for you!

Ever since I was seven years old, I’ve been fascinated by the weather — watching clouds, chasing snow, and keeping my own weather notes. Now I’d love you to join me on a journey through the weather of 2026.

This isn’t just a calendar… it’s your year-long weather project! You can be a meteorologist by observing what the weather’s been like and popping a sticker on the date to show the most dominant weather of the day. Rainy? Sunny? Cloudy? Snowy? You decide!

There’s enough symbols for a season in your pack but if you want to continue all year you can pick up more from https://t.co/ntTgrlrS5P.

Each month brings a new surprise — simply scan the QR code to watch a special video from me, where we’ll look back at some of the exciting weather highlights from the past month, share fun Scottish weather facts, and I may give you a sneak peek at what might be coming next. You or your school might even get a special mention!

Here’s to a year of weather-watching, learning, and lots of sunny days in 2026!

GRAB YOURS NOW

Scottish Primary School Teachers

If you’re planning to teach your class about weather in 2026, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on my new interactive weather calendar for next year!

Each month, pupils can:
🌈 Observe and record the daily weather
📅 Discover fun monthly weather facts
🧩 Take part in weather-themed activities
🎥 Watch a special video recap of Scotland’s weather from the last month — plus what might be coming next!

It’s a fun, hands-on project that helps cover several CfE outcomes while keeping your class engaged all year round.

Perfect for curious young meteorologists! ☀️🌧️❄️

Some jobs are just nice to do. This one for @FoodTrainScot certainly was - its Falkirk branch celebrating its third anniversary (and 5,500+ shopping deliveries) as some of its members got together for a Christmas lunch. Good food, great chat, nice music. @messagetweet #MMclient

It's been really interesting working on this 📺 with @FoodTrainScot as it highlights deepening concern about the number of older people in Scotland at risk of becoming malnourished - and the action that's needed to tackle the issue. #MAW2024 @messagetweet
