Identify and describe different types of weather — sunny, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy, foggy, stormy — and describe what the weather is like today using simple vocabulary
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Types of Weather means naming weather types and describing today’s weather in simple words. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Weather cards: sunny, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy, foggy, stormy
- Today weather blank
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Sunny, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy, foggy, stormy. Today is cloudy and cool.
Optional challenge. For Types of Weather, use two words for today.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: types named; today described; support used. This session samples weather words, not mastery of meteorology.
