TIME STEPS COMMENTS

1. INTRODUCTION (whole class)

Look out for the four seasons. What is the weather usually
like in each season?

What three months make up each season.

 After watching video, create a brainstorm of what we learnt
from video on IWB. The months and seasons in a year.

30 mins 3. EXPLORATION/PRACTICE(group/individual)

Creating a season and month wheel on a paper plate. Draw

two lines on the plate to create a cross/into 4 even quarters.
In each quarter write the season starting with summer,
autumn, winter then spring. On the outside write the months
of the year.
Have an example to show the class.

If students finish early, then can complete the worksheet

below which has different questions relating to seasons and
months. They can use the wheel to answer the questions.

4. CONCLUSION (whole class share/reflect)

5 mins
Bring the class back together, to sit on the floor. Ask class
what they learnt in the lesson and if there are any students
that want to show their season wheel. Explain to students if
they have not finished their wheel yet there will be time next
