RELATE TO FEELINGS USING THE WEATHER.
Resources
Large sheet of coloured paper, blank sheets of paper, pencils, paints/watercolours, glue, available classroom wall.
Instructions
Follow-up activity to the Feeling the Weather (FBW) activity.
Print an A4 sheet with the words ‘How do you feel today?’.
Mount a colour paper banner onto an available classroom wall and put the A4 sheet in the centre.
Print out some photos of different weather scenes — i.e. snow, fog, wind, hailstorms, sunshine, rain, and clouds — and put them up on the wall.
Ask the children to write underneath each one what they think the corresponding feeling inside would be if they felt that weather inside, for example, fear (fog), confused (wind), angry (hailstorms), etc.
Ask children to choose a weather/feeling and draw or paint a picture of what it feels like to them. Display artwork alongside photos.
Teacher Notes
Encourage children to be creative and reinforce the message that all weather is important and valid.
