DAILY AND SEASONAL CHANGES
Lesson 4
Lesson Plan
Introduction:
1. As a class, view pupils' completed copies of page 121 from Lesson 3. Using a think-pair-share,
pupils discuss the questions What is the weather like in each season and What do you think you
would see, feel and do in each season?
Development:
2. Pupils view the video Autumn/Fall at . Discuss what autumn is like in
relation to the weather, the clothing worn, the activities conducted and the places people visited.
Alternatively, display a selection of objects, books and/or images related to autumn. Suggestions
have been provided on page 124.
3. Divide the class into four groups and give each group an enlarged copy of page 125. Pupils draw/
write as many autumn-related clothes, activities and places as possible in the section entitled
'autumn'. Pupils should be encouraged to check that the image has not already been drawn in that
section and encouraged to draw small images.
4. After a few minutes, gather pupils and view the video Summer Season at . Discuss what summer is like in relation to the weather, the clothing worn, the activities
conducted and the places people visit. Alternatively, display a selection of objects, books and/or
images related to summer. Suggestions have been provided on page 124.
5. Pupils return to their groups and draw/write as many summer-related clothes, activities and places
as possible in the section entitled 'summer' on page 125. Remind pupils about not repeating
images and sizing in the same section.
6. After a few minutes, gather pupils and view the video Springtime at .
Discuss what spring is like in relation to the weather, the clothing worn, the activities conducted
and the places people visited. Alternatively, display a selection of objects, books and/or images
related to spring. Suggestions have been provided on page 124.
7. Pupils return to their groups and draw/write as many spring-related clothes, activities and places as
possible in the section entitled 'spring' on page 125. Remind pupils about not repeating images
and sizing in the same section.
8. After a few minutes, gather pupils and view the video Winter at .
Discuss what winter is like in relation to the weather, the clothing worn, the activities conducted
and the places people visited. Alternatively, display a selection of objects, books and/or images
related to winter. Suggestions have been provided on page 124.
9. Pupils return to their groups and draw/write as many winter-related clothes, activities and places as
possible in the section entitled 'winter' on page 125. Remind pupils about repeating images and
sizing in the same section.
Differentiation
• Less able pupils may be grouped together and provided with tablet computers to view the
videos multiple times. Pupils should be encouraged to rewatch the video without sound so it
does not distract the other pupils.
• More able pupils should be encouraged to write words or sentences to identify season-related
clothing, activities and places.
Viewing sample
