The activity I would choose would be Esero 11, What Clothes to Wear & Curious Minds, Investigating Children’s Coats..
My prompt question would be that I’m feeling cold in class & have goosebumps. What can I do? This prompt will also be good for children to reinforce their interoceptive senses – how do I know I’m cold?
We can then look at some options in my room and decide which is the best item of clothing for me to put on – my cardigan, a raincoat or my winter yard duty coat. This will lead to discussions about materials in each and reason for them.
When I have warmed up, we’ll look at Esero 11 resources and follow lesson – colouring the season pictures, questions about pictures and clothing in each. Next will be the story “Rain, Wind & Storm”, children can pretend to be Lisa and do the actions for the story.
A follow up lesson could include the children designing their own coats/jackets (Investigating Children’s Coats, Curious MInds)with the following in mind – seasons, weather, temperature, materials, practical, fashion etc
