Year 1 UK Weather Unit + Provision Pack - 35 Activities

Thankyou for looking at my resource.

KS1 UK Weather Unit

This unit is made up of six lessons.

Each lesson Includes a fully comprehensive powerpoint and word resources catering a range of abilities.

Lesson 1 - To explain what weather is and how it varies
Lesson 2 - To describe how the weather can affect us
Lesson 3 - To understand different seasons in a year
Lesson 4 - To understand the dangers of weather
Lesson 4 - To locate hot and cold places
Lesson 5 - To compare what the weather is like in a hot and cold place

All lessons start with active rewind (recap) tasks. These provide an informal assessment for teachers, remind children of their prior learning to help learning go into their long term memory and put relevant prior learning in the forefront of children’s minds as they acquire new learning.

Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the learning rather than forming sentences.

Independent task

In each lesson children will be built up to completing an independent task/s.

Every task has a helping hands task which aims to remove barriers to children accessing the main task such as using stem sentences to allow children to focus on their learning not the structuring of sentences.

The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.

Provision Pack

This pack provides 35 weather themed activities.

The PDF is organised into different weather sections:
Mixed weather
Rain
Sun
Wind
Cloud
Rainbow
Snow
Other - e.g. seasons

This pack has been designed to suit a range of ages and stages with many activities having different options.

For instance, the counting umbrella activity includes:
Umbrellas with numbers up to 8 with pre-drawn raindrops for children to colour.
Umbrellas with numbers up to 8 with empty spaces to place loose parts,finger paint,stickers etc under.
An umbrella with a blank box to fill in a number and pre-drawn raindrops for children to colour.
An umbrella with a blank box to fill in a number and space to place loose parts etc.

This resource can be used to support the teaching of the UK weather in KS1 and has a number of tasks that can be used as pre learning (for example, sorting hot and cold items in preparation for a lesson on hot and cold places) and activities to enhance learning as children progress through the unit.
