Statistics - Use the Weather Block Diagram Activity Sheet in conjunction with the children’s recording of the weather in geography. They can also be supplied with fictional data and they can then interpret the information using this handy resource.
Multiplication - The Seasons Path Missing Numbers Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s Activity Pack is a great way to get the children to recall their knowledge of multiples of 2, 5 and 10 with a seasonal weather-themed activity.
Measure - Children can record the weather and temperature on a daily basis with the Weather and Temperature Chart. It is a brilliant way to get the children engaged in their learning about the weather. The information they gather can be recorded and displayed in a graph.
Forecast - Set your role-play area up with the United Kingdom Weather Forecasting Role-Play Pack, so the children can give their own weather forecasts. The Weather Activity Writing Frames resource will enable the children to compose and write sentences about the weather represented on the different sheets and it can be used as part of their weather forecast scripts.
Poetry - Use the Weather Words Display Posters to give the children a range of topic-specific vocabulary. Discuss what each of the types of weather looks like, how it feels, how it sounds and its characteristics. Get them to record their ideas to include in poems written on the Weather Shape Poetry resource.
Ice and Snow - The Ice and Snow Facts Activity Sheet gives an amazing fact, a fill in the missing words activity and extension ideas for the children.
Comprehension - Teach children about poetry using the KS1 Rap up Warm in the Winter Poetry Comprehension Activity. They can explore rhyming words and homophones as they answer differentiated questions about the poem. It may inspire them to write their own.
Perfect for the whole class, the Extreme Weather Conditions Video PowerPoint features some fantastic videos of extreme weather conditions, to help support your teaching on weather and the seasons. The examples include a tornado, a snow blizzard, a flood and a drought. Use the clips as role-play inspiration, discussion starters, writing prompts and much more to stimulate the children’s investigations.
The PlanIt Painting Unit will help teach your class basic painting skills in a painting application on a computer or tablet device. Children will use a simple painting program to paint with different colours and brushes, create shapes, fill areas, undo and redo, and add text. Use this in conjunction with their work in geography and get them to create pictures with text describing different weather conditions.
The PlanIt Nature and God Unit will teach your class about how nature is important across religions. It will encourage them to make links between different religions. Children will learn the Christian Creation story and about the importance of harvest to Christians and Jews by learning about harvest festivals and Sukkot. Children then go on to hear stories from Buddhism and Islam which highlight the importance of looking after nature. They then think about how the messages in these stories can help them in their everyday lives. Get them to find stories about the weather in different religions as an extension.
Wonderful Weather - The PlanIt Wonderful Weather Unit will help you teach your class about different types of weather in their immediate environment along with the four seasons. The children will then have the opportunity to build on this knowledge and the pack will introduce them to hot and cold areas of the world and the impact of weather types. Children will have opportunities to observe and record the weather, present their own weather forecasts and make valuable links with other subjects across the curriculum.
Weekly Rainfall - Get the children to record the rainfall and temperature over the course of a week. This information can be used as a stimulus for writing or for work in maths and their work in design and technology making a weather station.
Share some of the striped collage work by the artist Patrick Heron and discuss the colours he has used. Which are ‘warm’ colours and which are ‘cold’ colours? Why do the children have these opinions? What kind of weather would each of these colours represent? Teach the children how to mix colours to get their desired colour. The Colour Mixing Display Signs will provide a visual reminder and the Mixing Colours Song PowerPoint is a great way to help children remember colour combinations in a fun way. Get them to create weather-inspired striped paintings in the style of Patrick Heron. This could be completed on canvas.
Use the Weather Station Craft Instructions in conjunction with learning in science. Children can observe, measure and record the weather and evaluate their construction once they have constructed their weather station. They should look for ways they could improve the design or structure.
Share the Weather Songs and Rhymes PowerPoints Pack with the children, a set of traditional nursery rhyme songs, given a new twist, all with a weather theme. Each PowerPoint is beautifully illustrated and children will love to sing along with them.
The Weather Clothes Sorting Activity is ideal for reinforcing what children should wear in different types of weather. Start a discussion about appropriate clothing using one of the weather photo display packs and ask why they have made their choices. Explain the need for appropriate clothing and protection against the weather and how it is important for them to take care of themselves against the elements.
