The aim of this activity is to learn weather vocabulary and to create a rutine, beginning our classes with the question: What's the weather today?
It could be very interesting to make all together a "Weather clock" and the children could look outside every day and record each day's weather.
Let's prepare some flashcards, representing cloudy, sunny, partly cloudy, rain, snow, storm, windy and winter sun, to say then a Weather rhyme, doing the actions and showing the flashcards.
We can stick the flashcards on the wall, in our Weather corner.
Weather rhyme, by Vanessa Reilly and Sheila M. Ward:
It's snowing, it's snowing
brr, brr, brr,
It's raining, it's raining
pit-a-pat, pat,
It's sunny, it's sunny,
phew! phew!
It's windy, it's windy,
whoosh! whoosh!
Songs are a great help to enhance language development. So, I would suggest practicing with the song: The Sun Comes Up!.
We can sing this weather song all together, doing the mime.
And to end up, we ask the children to look at the pictures on the left, with the different weather. Now they have to draw lines from each picture on the left with the drawing on the right.
Hi Nuria,
ReplyDeleteI've been checking all the blogs and all of them really look great, but I have to tell you that yours especially called my attention. First of all, tell you the pastel tone of green and blue chosen are very ideal for this child blog. Regarding the proposed activities, I think there is a wide variety, they are complete and the guidelines given are clear and simple to the children’s understanding. On the other hand, worked items are very suitable for this age because they are of interest to them.
Definitely, I have liked your blog!
