I made this presentation for my year 2 group. It can be adapted for KS2 as well. The information used is from the website http://www.theschoolrun.com/homework-help/india.

Hope you find it useful.

Students are introduced to a climate graph, showing them temperature and rainfall in a city or country. Students are then to complete a small exam Question: Describe what the climate in Beijing is like. They use the climate graph to help them with this and then can peer assess their partners answer. Students are then to complete a living graph. They decide where 9 statements ‘best’ fit on the climate graph and write the statements around the graph then draw an arrow to the place that you think it belongs to. An extension task of giving reasons "Where did you put your statements and why?" can be completed. Finally students are to compare Beijing’s to London’s - showing the difference in the type of weather they/we get at different times of the year.
