The activity I have chosen is ‘Activity set weather’ for hands- on activities in the classroom with junior infants.
To being we would look at the 4 seasons (Winter, summer, autumn and spring) and what types of weather occurs in each season. The children can refer to the seasons chart that is displayed in our class. Then i would ask some of the children to tell the forecast for the day and discuss what they have worn into school.
I will then use a variety of objects and clothes. Tell the children that we are going on a winter holiday. We need to sort the clothes and objects that we will need for his holiday.
Children must sort them correctly into the correct suitcases for each holiday.
Other games I have done is weather boy/girl and map of Ireland with pictures of different weather- Role play. Matching games – match clothes to the correct weather on worksheets. To consolidate learning. Arts and crafts- We make rainbows. We can also make waterproof clothes by looking at varied materials and what is waterproof/ not waterproof.
