Lesson on Weather and Suitable clothes
We would spend a few days previous to this lesson tracking the weather of the day, e.g. rainy, cloudy, cold, sunny, hot etc.
I would show the children a picture of each season on the board and we would discuss what children are wearing in the photo. i.e. winter- hats, scarves etc, Summer- Sunglasses, shorts, swimming togs.
I would question the children on clothes they wear In different seasons. We would spend a bit more time on the spring and Autumn pictures as these can be a little less clearcut than the contrast between Winter and Summer.
We would use our Aistear dress up box so that children could take turns picking out different clothes they could wear in different seasons. I would question the children on why they think the wear less clothes in Summer time and extra layers in Wintertime. We would discuss how the sun heats our body.
To finish off the lesson, there would be a worksheet with Winter and Summer and the children would have to draw a suitable outfit and say why it is suitable.
