Lesson Planning

Teaching

• Talk about the four seasons and what weather is associated with each season.
• Make a seasons collage together, using colours and images associated with the different times of the year.
• Consider what we do to relax during the winter and the summer. How does it change with the weather? How can we represent these activities on the class collage? (Yr1)
• Think about the different moods we feel with different weathers. What colours or shapes would represent those best on our collage? (Yr2)

Activities

1. Learn about the weather for the season and consider if the weather they are expecting is typical.
2. Understand more about the different seasons of the year, including the current season.
3. Consider the different elements of the seasons and represent in a group collage.
