Key Stage 1: Weather
Literacy Support Activities
Jokes
     

1) Children tell jokes and write them out.

2) The class compiles a list of jokes, for example:

 

Q. How does Jack Frost get to school?

  A. By icicles!!

 

   
Picture of jack Frost and his bicycle
Turning Words into Images
     

1) Children choose adjectives to describe the weather items. Then using WORD they turn them into images based on for e.g. type of font, size of font, use of colour etc.

2) They could then discuss their interpretations, comparing similarities and differences.

Alphabetical Order

 

1) Put the following words in alphabetical order:

Weather
Snow
Rain
Sun
Hat
Cold
Cloud
Warm
Flood
Frost

2) Now write a sentence for each word to show you understand what each word means.

Capitals & Fullstops

 

The capital letters and full stops have been removed from these sentences. Can you write these sentences out again and put in all the capital letters and full stops?
