Mia and Ben visit Little Bay for a seaside trip and learn the names for different kinds of weather as they explore each day.
PAGE 1
Mia and Ben arrived by train at Little Bay, a cheerful seaside town. They had come for a week of exploring, and Mia smiled at the bright sky. “It is sunny!” she said.
The sun made the sea sparkle like glass. Ben opened his map and laughed. “Perfect weather for our first walk,” he said. They set off to the harbour, happy and warm.

The next morning, grey clouds moved over Little Bay. Soon, soft rain tapped on the roof of their guest house. Mia looked out of the window. “Now it is rainy,” she said.
Ben put up his umbrella. “Let’s visit the fish market,” he suggested. They walked slowly, listening to the rain and watching people hurry past with boots and umbrellas.

After lunch, the rain stopped. The sky turned pale and soft. Big clouds floated above the bay. “It is cloudy now,” said Mia.
They climbed a small hill and watched the boats below. The clouds made the light gentle and quiet. “I like this calm view,” Ben said. “Me too,” said Mia.

In the afternoon, a lively breeze came from the sea. Grass swayed, and Mia’s hair danced in the wind. “It is windy!” she called.
Ben held his cap with one hand. “The wind is pushing the clouds along,” he said. They laughed as they walked back to town, feeling the fresh air on their faces.

On the final day, morning felt cold. Mia zipped her yellow raincoat. “Brrr, it is cold,” she said, smiling anyway.
By noon, the sun returned and the stones on the pier felt hot. “Now it is hot!” Ben said, taking a sip of water. Mia nodded. “We have seen sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, cold, and hot. What a lovely trip!”
