Hello, my name is Ms. Jurekjan.

I'm so excited to be learning with you today.

I will be guiding you through our lesson.

We are going to do some great learning together.

Let's get started.

Welcome to today's lesson from our unit called Seasons.

How does the weather change through the year? This lesson is called Introducing the Weather.

Your learning outcome for today will be to identify different types of weather from observations.

Some of this learning is brand new, but I'm here to help you.

This links back to previous learning you might have done about the weather.

You might have also described what the weather's like outside and you might have been able to name some weather elements and notice how it changes between seasons.

You might have also recorded some simple weather data.

Here are the key words that we will be using together throughout today's lesson.

Before we find out what they mean, let's practise saying them together doing my turn, your turn.

Weather, weather.

Temperature, temperature.

Weather vane, weather vane.

Good job.

Let's find out what these words mean.

Weather, the weather of a place is the day to day condition of the atmosphere.

For example, if it's sunny, snowing, warm, et cetera.

Temperature, temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a place.

Weather vane, a weather vane is a tool for showing from which direction the wind is blowing.

I would like you to be using these keywords throughout our lesson as well.

Good job everyone.

Here are the learning cycles that we will be working through together in today's lesson.

First, we're going to be thinking about what weather is and then we're going to be thinking about how we can identify different types of weather.

Are you ready to start today's lesson? I'm really excited, I hope you are too.

Let's get started.

Weather describes the current state and conditions of the sky and the air outside.

So there's lots of different types of weather here that you can see in that picture.

I'd like you to quickly turn to your partner and name the different types of weather that you can see there.

Pause the video now.

Good job everyone.

So we've talked there about the weather describing the current state and the conditions of the sky outside.

You could have said sunny, you could have said sunny with a little bit of clouds, cloudy.

It might have been raining or you might have said snow.

You might have even said some lightning if it's a thunderstorm.

Good job everyone, you can give yourselves a thumbs up.

The weather can change within minutes.

So that means that one minute you are walking to school in the sun enjoying the sun on your face and then all of a sudden it becomes really dark and cloudy and then starts to rain.

That's definitely happened to me.

I'm sure it's happened to you as well.

So remember that the current state of the conditions outside can change within minutes.

Knowing about what weather to expect helps us plan what to wear and which activities to do.

If we know that it's going to be raining later, we'll make sure we pack a rain coat and we might play indoors rather than playing outside.

If it's going to be a sunny day, we'll make sure that we are wearing a summer hat and that we've got sun cream on and we might have to limit the amount of time we spend outside in case it gets too hot.

So that's why it's really important knowing about the weather.

It's time for a quick check here.

What is weather? A, the conditions of the outside world at any one time.

B, how hot or cold it is over a month, or C, a period of time when the air and the sky are the same.

Pause the video here and answer this check.

How did you get on? Did you say A? Weather means the conditions of the outside world at any one time.

Good job everyone.

Well done if you said that, that's the right answer.

And remember that the weather can change within hours or even minutes.

We use special words to describe the weather.

How would you describe the weather in these images? What would you say the weather is here? What would you say the weather is showing us in this image? What does the weather look like in this third image? And finally, what can you see in that fourth image? I'd like you to do this with your partner.

Pause the video and discuss what the weather's like in each of these four images.

How did you get on? Did you say that in the first image the weather looks really warm and sunny? You might have said in the second image it's quite dull and grey and wet.

You can see that the lady's wearing a coat and she's holding an umbrella, which means that it's also really wet.

Did you say that the third image is showing us really dark clouds? It also looks quite grey as well, so it looks really cloudy there.

It might even begin to start raining soon.

And then in the fourth picture, did you say windy? Look at how those leaves of the palm tree are blowing in the wind.

You can see that the wind looks quite strong there.

Good job if you were able to talk about the weather in each of these images, thumbs up.

Here are some words that we can use to describe the weather.

So you might have used some of those words already and you might know some of the words that are coming up, but some of these words might be new to you, so let's go through them together.

You could say rainy and then you can describe that rain by saying it's light rain or heavy rain.

You might even hear the word drizzle used with rain and that means that it's really, really light.

If it's sunny we could say that it's hot or warm.

If it's cloudy we could say grey, dull or overcast.

Those words all describe cloudy weather and then if it's windy we could say that it's quite gusty and that the winds are strong.

So these are all the different adjectives that we could use to describe the different types of weather.

We're going to be using them a lot throughout the rest of the lesson.

I'd like you to describe the weather conditions in this image with a partner.

Think about what we've talked about.

You could use words to describe the wind because it looks quite windy in this picture.

You could also use words to describe the sun because it does look a little bit sunny there as well.

The sky is blue.

Pause the video here and complete this check.

How did you get on? Did you say it looks sunny with some clouds? That's exactly what Jacob said here.

Did you also say it looks very windy? Look at how these trees are getting blown and that's what Aisha's noticed because you can see just how strong you could even even said gusty.

You can see how strong and gusty the wind looks in this photo because of how the palm tree leaves are getting blown.

Good job everyone.

Well done if you are able to answer that check.

You might have used some different words to these pupils and that's okay.

Now let's move on to temperature.

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.

So you can see in my image I've got three different thermometers.

That's what we use to measure temperature and that's showing us what cold temperature looks like on a thermometer, what a mild temperature looks like, and then what a hot temperature looks like.

Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius, so a cold temperature is about five degrees Celsius, a mild temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius, and then a hot temperature is about 25 degrees Celsius.

That's what these images on the thermometer shows us.

Remember that a thermometer is used to measure temperature and temperature is measured in degrees Celsius.

Let's think about what the weather is like in this image.

Work with a partner and see if you can describe the weather in this image.

You can use some of the words that we talked about earlier in the lesson.

Pause the video now.

How did you get on describing the weather in this image? Did you say that it looked very warm, hot and sunny and you might have also said there were some light clouds.

Good job if you did.

Now we've thought about what the weather is like.

Let's think about what the temperature is like in this image because it looks quite warm, hot and sunny in this picture.

The temperature's going to be quite hot.

Can you read this thermometer and see if you can identify what the temperature is in this photograph? Pause the video here.

How did you get on? Did you say that it was hot and that it was about 25 degrees Celsius? Good job everyone.

I'll give you another thumbs up.

Well done if you were able to identify how hot it was in this photograph based on the thermometer.

It is time for a quick check here.

What is temperature measured in? A, degrees C, B, degrees D, or C, degrees E.

Pause the video here and complete this check.

How did you get on? Did you say A, degrees C? That's correct.

And degrees C means degrees Celsius and that's what we measure temperature in.

We use a thermometer to measure temperature.

Good job everyone.

Well done if you've got that right.

I'll give you a big thumbs up.

It's now time for a true or false check.

So that means you've got to think really carefully about whether or not this statement is true or false.

Temperature measured in degrees Celsius can record how hot or cold the weather outside is.

Pause the video and let me know whether you think that statement is true or false.

How did you get on? Did you say true? That's correct.

Temperature can record how hot or cold the weather outside is and remember that we measure temperature in degrees Celsius.

Good job.

It's now time to justify your answer.

That means you've got to explain why this statement is true.

Is it true because A, thermometers measure the temperature or how hot or cold the conditions outside are, or B, temperature only records how hot it is inside.

Which of these justifies this statement being true? How did you get on? Did you say A? That's correct.

Thermometers measure the temperature or how hot or cold the conditions outside are.

Fantastic, well done if you got that right.

Good job everyone.

It's now time for task A.

What I would like you to do is to tell your partner what the weather is like in this image.

What temperature do you think it is in this place? Remember to use all of those words that we learned about earlier to describe the weather in this picture.

Pause the video here and complete task A.

Well, geographers, how did you get on? Here's how some pupils answered task A.

The weather in this image looks cloudy, overcast, and dull.

The clouds are grey and black, which means it's going to rain soon.

The thermometer is reading five degrees Celsius, which means it's cold.

Yes, I think it's going to start raining very soon because of the dark clouds overhead.

I think it'll be a heavy downpour.

So that's how these children have answered task A.

I'm sure you answered in a similar way as well.

Good job everyone.

I'm going to give you another big thumbs up.

Well done.

It's now time to continue with our lesson.

We're going to move on to thinking about how we can identify different types of weather.

Let's look more closely at two different types of weather.

We'll look at windy weather and we've seen this image of the palm trees before and we'll also look at rainy weather.

So again, we've seen this image of this lady before as well.

When the wind blows, it can blow, that means it moves air, from different directions.

The wind direction is the direction the wind is coming from, not the direction the wind is blowing towards.

For example, a north wind blows from the north.

So remember that the wind direction is measuring where the wind blows from, not where it's blowing to.

There's an image here of something.

I wonder if you can remember what this image is? Pause the video here and see if you can tell me what this image is showing.

How did you get on? Did you say compass? That's correct.

This is an image of a compass and we're going to learn about it in more detail soon.

This is a compass.

We use it as a tool to find directions.

Do you know what letters on the compass represent? How did you get on? Did you say that N represents north, E represents east, S represents south and W represents west? Good job if you were able to identify what the letters on the compass represent.

It is now for a quick check here.

Which of these are directions represented on a compass? A, Easter, B, North, C, South, or D, West? Pause the video here and answer this check.

How did you get on? Did you say B, C and D, North, South, and West? That's correct.

Easter is not a direction represented on a compass.

East is a direction represented on a compass.

I was trying to trick you there, so well done if you've got that right and you weren't tricked by my question.

We can use a weather vane to see the direction that the wind is blowing from.

Remember that we said wind direction is where the wind blows from, not where it blows to.

The wind blows and pushes the tail of the fish.

The head of the fish points towards the direction the wind is coming from and that's how we can use a weather vane to tell us the wind direction.

Let's have a quick check here.

So which wind direction is shown on this weather vane? Remember I have said that the wind pushes the tail of the fish and the head of the fish points to the direction that the wind is blowing from.

Pause the video here and answer this check.

How did you get on? Did you say that the head of the fish is pointing in between south and east, so the wind is coming from the south east? Well done if you got that right and if you remembered that S means south and E means east.

Good job everyone.

I'm going to give you another thumbs up.

Fresh water that falls to the ground from clouds can take different forms such as rain, snow, hail, or sleet.

Here's a picture of rain.

So again, we've seen this picture before.

Here's a picture of snow.

Here's a picture of sleet and here's a picture of hail.

Pause the video here and tell your partner if you've heard of any of these different words apart from rain, that fresh water takes when it falls to the ground from clouds.

Let's learn more about these different types of weather.

Rain, fresh water that falls to the ground from the clouds is called rain.

This is usually in warm, mild and cool temperatures.

When the temperatures are colder than two degrees Celsius, the fresh water that falls to the ground can freeze and become snow.

So that's when we see snow.

When the temperature is colder than two degrees Celsius.

Let's find out about sleet and hail now.

When temperatures are cold, the fresh water that starts falling as snow melts and then refreezes to form sleet.

When the temperatures are cold, hail forms when drops of water freeze into balls of ice.

Let's have a quick check here.

Fresh water that falls to the ground from clouds can take different forms such as, A, rain, B, hail, C, snow, or D, sheet.

Pause the video here and answer this check.

How did you get on? Did you say A, rain, B, hail and C, snow? Good job well done if you did.

A sheet is something that you put on your bed.

You might have been confused with the word sleet, which is also a different type of form that fresh water can take when it falls to the ground from the clouds.

Well done if you answered that correctly.

Good job, you can give yourselves another thumbs up.

It's now time for task B.

What I would like you to do is to go outside and explore your school grounds.

What is the weather like today? Describe the weather and draw an image of your observations.

Pause the video now and complete task B.

How did you get on with task B? Here's what Sophia had to say.

"It's really warm and sunny outside.

There are no clouds in the sky.

I can feel a slight breeze.

The weather vane is pointing south, that means the direction the wind is blowing from is south!" And there you can see a drawing of her observations.

Good job if you did something similar.

You've worked really hard today identifying and observing different types of weather.

You can give yourselves a one big thumbs up, fantastic.

We've now come to the end of our lesson, so let's go through a quick summary of all the learning that's taken place today.

The weather describes the condition of the outside world at any one time.

The temperature is a measure of how hot or cold it is.

The wind direction is the direction that the wind is coming from.

For example, a north wind blows from the north.

Fresh water that falls to the ground from the clouds can take different forms such as rain, snow, hail, or sleet.

You've been fantastic today.

Well done for joining me for today's lesson and for sharing your learning with me.

I'll see you next time for more geography lessons soon, bye.
