‘What’s the Weather?’ IDL summary and end of term in P3/4

We had a very exciting and busy term in P3/4. We were working on ‘What’s the Weather?’ IDL which incorporated all the curricular areas.

Literacy

We wrote many interesting genres during literacy lessons including weather reports, instructions for experiments, letters to our friends about our learning. This term and we also completed science booklets during a science week.

IDL

This term we were learning to talk about the weather. We dscussed weather related vocabulary and went for a walk to find signs of weather.

We creater a weather diary in our class and in pairs we were collecting weather data for each day of the week.

We made weather related art and we visited our school’s weather station to learn how to measure temperature, rainfall, wind speed and atmospheric pressure. We also found out about the difference between weather ad climate and discussed different climates.

Numeracy

During numeracy lessons we were learning about time. We used analogue and digital clocks to tell the time. We also looked at days of the week, seasons and months. We learned how to write dates in a short and a long form.

We have also started learning about money by doing shopping in a vegetable shop in our class. We discussed how we can add money using chimney sums and how to record different amounts of money using £ and p.

We wish everyone Happy Easter and safe holidays.
