Weather in spring /April

Song:

Rain (Snow) is falling down

 

It’s raining

It’s raining, it’s  pouring

the old man went snoring

He bumped his head and went to bed

And couldn’t get up in the morning

Rain, rain, go away.

You can come some other day

 

When the rain starts

The cat runs under the car.

The fish dives under the water.

The mouse runs into a mouse hole.

The rabbit hops under the TV.

The bird flies into a tree.

The horse gallops across the field.

 

Children draw the scenes

and colour the picture.

Chant:

Snow, snow, snow.  It is snowing.  

pupils drum with their finger-tips on the desk  

Rain, rain, rain. It is raining.  

pupils drum with their finger nails on the desk  

Sun, sun, sun.  It is sunny.  

pupils wipe the "sweat" off their faces  

Wind, wind, wind.  It is windy.  

pupils rub their palms on the desks  

Snow and rain.

Sun and wind.  

Snow and rain.

Sun and wind.  

pupils make the appropriate sounds  

Poem

Rain on green grass

And rain on the tree

Rain on the house-top

But not on me.

(pupils draw a picture describing this poem)

Poem

I hear thunder, I hear thunder  (stamp feet on floor)  
Oh, don’t you? Oh, don’t you?    (hands to ear)  
Pitter-patter raindrops, pitter-patter raindrops.  (move all fingers)  
I’m wet through     (shake body)  
So are you!    (point to neighbour)
