Looking at Clothes We talked about bodies and why we need clothing. We dressed a teddy bear in clothes for summer and clothes for winter and we talked about the different clothing that is worn during these seasons. We discussed the protective nature of clothing and as an extension we traced human figures onto A3 sized pieces of paper. We then encouraged the children to ceate clothing for the figure using paper strips that we had pre-cut. To finish the picture the children had to draw facial features. |

Clothing Sort A further extension of the Clothing/Weather topic can be a category sort similar to the sheet pictured left. For this activity children were required to sort clothes into a winter group and a summer group. For the picture on the left we used a worksheet from a book and pre cut many clothing pictures from the work book for the children to sort through. For the picture on the right we provided pictures from magazines and catalogues for children to sort into "hot" and "cold" clothing |
Season Clock Divide a paper plate into four even sectors and attach a clock hand using a split pin. Help each child to label each sector and help them to order summer, autumn, winter, spring. Provide shapes for each sector eg flowers for Spring, leaves for Autumn, sun for Summer and raindrops for Winter. Help the children to glue these into the correct sectors. A large one can also be made for classroom use to explain to the children how the seasons change and how these changes are reflected in the weather. As the seasons change the clock hand can be moved to help reinforce this for the children. |
Clothing Hamper Provide a big hamper filled with assorted clothes and have the children sort them into summer and winter clothes |
