I would extend the ‘What clothes to wear’ activity for my 2nd class.
Objective:
Students will create outfits appropriate for each season, reinforcing their understanding of weather, seasons, and suitable clothing.
Materials:
Large paper or cardboard
Markers, crayons, coloured pencils
Magazines for cutouts (optional)
Glue, scissors
Introduction
Discuss the different types of weather associated with each season (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Ask students to recall what clothes are suitable for each season.
Activity
Divide the class into four groups, assigning each group a season. Each group will design an outfit appropriate for their assigned season on a large sheet of paper. They can draw, color, or use magazine cutouts to create their outfit. Encourage them to think about layers, accessories, and weather conditions.
Presentation
Each group presents their outfit to the class, explaining why the clothing choices are suitable for their season. Discuss the differences between the seasons and how clothing helps us adapt to weather changes.
SESE Curriculum Link:
This activity supports understanding in Geography (weather and seasons) and Science (materials and their uses), fostering creativity and practical application of seasonal knowledge.
