Learning Intentions:
To observe and record the weather
Step 1: Activity overview for parent, carers and pupils
There is a short video song (approximately two minutes) to start the activity. The activity is practical and is recorded offline. You will need either separate pieces of paper which can be made into a book or a large piece of paper divided into seven columns with the days of the week written at the top. Record the weather for one week.
Step 2: Introduction to the activity and additional information
Watch and join in with the weather song below.
Talk about different weather systems we have with your child and how they are represented.
Step 3: Tasks to carry out for this activity
Activity 1: Observing the weather
- Either go in the garden or look outside at the weather.
- Ask your child what they think the weather is doing.
- On paper get your child to record the weather by drawing a picture using pencils / crayons.
