Weather is always a great theme – lots of different activities to get the the children learning and also you can do it in Irish also
start by discussing all the different types of weather and discuss the daily weather- what season are we in and what clothes do we need for hot day / cold day / windy day etc – sort clothes into the different categories and maybe there are clothes we wear in spring and in summer and we could use this information in a simple venn diagram
we would keep a record on a daily basis of what the weather is like – even make a rain gauge is wonderful activity which incorporates stem – lots of predictions and language activities
poems like itsy bitsy spider/ raining it’s pouring / rain rain go away would be used in phonics lessons to enhance phonological awareness orthographie mapping and rhyme
on study ladder there are some wonderful weather activities to develop ICT through story / matching activities and experiments – definitely recommend this
