Hello, my name is Mrs. Mehrin and I'm so excited to be learning all about weather in summer with you.

Let's begin.

Welcome to today's lesson from the unit "Seasonal Changes: Spring and Summer." Your learning outcome is, "I can describe the weather in summer." Now, I know that learning can sometimes be a little bit challenging, but that's okay because it just means that we are going to work really hard together and we're going to learn lots of fabulous new things.

Let's begin.

So here are your key words for today's lesson.

We're going to do My Turn, Your Turn.

Are you ready? My turn.

Fantastic.

Well done.

Now, you might have spotted as well that the definitions are next to the keywords here.

Now, you don't need to worry about these because I am going to refer to them throughout today's video.

Now, our lesson is split into two parts.

Let's begin with the first one, Weather in summer.

Now it's the children's last day of year one and they are thinking about all of the things they have done during the year by looking at photographs.

In the photographs, they notice that the weather changes over time.

Why do you think this is? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So Laura says, "I think each month of the year has different weather." And Luca says, "I think the weather is different in each season." Let's look at the photographs again and I'll show you.

So Lucas describes the weather in the season of spring and he says, "The weather in spring is often mixed.

It can be cold, windy, rainy, but also sometimes sunny and warm," just like in the picture here.

Now, what weather do you observe in this photograph? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So it looks like it might be quite sunny and warm because if we look at the children's clothes, we can see that they are not wearing big coats.

However, the little girl does have what seems to be a jumper on.

So it might be slightly chilly, but not that much.

It looks like it's quite sunny.

Now, Lucas describes the weather in the season of winter.

He says, "The weather in winter can be cold, windy and rainy.

Sometimes it's sunny, but we may also see fog, frost or even snow." What weather do you observe in this photograph? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So I can see snow, I can see some frost there as well, and it is very cloudy too.

Now, the weather is often different in each season, and Laura says, "I see now, so the weather is different in each season, not every month." And Lucas says, "Yes, the year is split into four seasons and we often have different weather in each one." Now, who do you agree with? Aisha says, "The weather is the same in every season." Sam says, "It never rains in summer." And Alex says, "The weather is often different in each season." Who do you agree with? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

The answer is Alex.

Now it's the last day of term in July and the children are preparing for the end of year one party.

Now, which season is July in? What do you think? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Fabulous.

Well done.

The season in July is summer.

Now, Lucas is helping to prepare for the party on the school field.

He observes the weather and he says, "It's really hot at school today.

The weather is very sunny and the sky looks blue." And summer comes after spring and the weather turns warmer.

Summer is usually the warmest season.

And Lucas says, "If we have lots of very hot days in a row, this is called a heat wave." Now, although summer is usually the warmer season, the weather is not always warm and sunny.

It can be cloudy, cool and rainy.

And Luca says, "Even though it is summer, the weather is cool so I'm wearing a jumper today." What is the weather like where you are today? So I'd like you to have a good think about this.

I'll give you five seconds, and then I'll share what the weather has been like for me today.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So where I am, it's been really sunny today and it's been quite warm as well, which has been lovely.

Now, Laura shows Lucas the weatherboard she uses to describe the weather each day.

Which weather do you think each picture shows? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So we've got sunny, cloudy, rainy, and windy.

Now, the children are talking about what the weather might be like on the day of the party.

Aisha says, "We have had a little bit of rain this week, but it has mainly been sunny.

I think that the weather for our party tomorrow will be sunny too." Lucas says, "When we try to guess or predict the weather, it is called a forecast." Now, what have you noticed about the weather where you are? Can you try to forecast tomorrow's weather? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So because it's been nice and sunny where I am today, I have a feeling it might be quite nice and sunny tomorrow as well.

Now true or false, summer is the coldest season? Is that true or false? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

The answer is false.

And, "I think this because.

." "The weather is often warmest in summer." Or, "There are four seasons in one year." I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

The answer is A.

Now who do you agree with? Aisha says, "In summer the weather is often hot and sunny." Sam says, "In summer the weather is often frosty and icy." And Alex says, "In summer the weather is always windy and rainy." I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

Aisha is correct.

Now, here is your first task for today.

It says, "Check your local weather forecast and record the weather that is predicted for a week in summer." So you're going to draw it and then you're going to write what that forecast is showing.

So you are going to check your local weather forecast and record the weather that's predicted for a week in summer.

Okay, so I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at doing that activity.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So here we've got sunny, sunny, rainy, cloudy, and cloudy.

That is the prediction for one week in summer.

Now, your second task is to observe and record weather for a week in summer, and you can use Laura's pictures to help you.

So I want you to think, I want you to go and record that weather for a week.

So you're going to need to come back to this video in a week's time once you've done this activity.

Okay, off you go and I'll see you soon.

Fabulous.

Well done.

Lovely to have you back.

Let's see how you got on.

So I found it was sunny one day, then cloudy, then rainy, then cloudy, and then sunny again.

Now you are going to compare your summer weather record with your spring weather record, or use the one below for spring.

So I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at doing that.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So Jun says, "I observed that there are more sunny days in summer than in spring.

There has been less rain in summer too." Andeep says, "The weather is more mixed in spring and it is windier than in summer." Now we are on to the second part of our learning today, which is high temperatures in summer.

Now, Izzy helps Lucas to prepare for the end of term summer party and she says, "The weather feels really hot today.

I was so warm that I'm wearing my shorts instead of trousers." Now, Izzy knows the weather is hot because she feels very warm and the heat is making her sweat.

Izzy says, "I'm very sweaty and I feel like I need to drink some water to cool down." So Laura comes to help with Izzy and Lucas outside and she says, "The weather is so hot today that I need to stay in the shade.

My face looks very red because I'm feeling too warm." Now Laura and Izzy notice that the ground looks different in the hot weather, and Laura says, "The ground is very dry because it has been hot and there hasn't been much rain.

Some of the grass has died and the soil is cracked because it's so dry." Now Laura and Izzy go back into the classroom and Izzy says, "It's cooler inside because we have a fan on to help us stay cool." Now, how do you keep cool when the weather is hot? What do you do? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So when it's hot, I definitely like to have my fan, but also I wear clothes that are much lighter in material than what I would wear in winter, so I'm definitely not going to be wearing my jumpers or my cardigans in summer because I want to stay nice and cool.

And I make sure that I'm drinking plenty of water as well.

Now, how can Izzy check how hot it is in summer? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So Izzy can measure the temperature, but what can Izzy use to measure the temperature? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

Izzy can use something called a thermometer to measure the temperature.

So here we have a thermometer that's outside that's measuring the outside temperature, we've got a forehead thermometer, and a medical thermometer.

Now, do you know how to use a thermometer? Have you ever used one before, maybe when you've been sick or you've had a temperature or you want to see how hot it is outside? Do you know how to use one? I'll give you five seconds to think about that.

Off you go.

Okay, now let's do a quick checking of your learning.

What do we mean by the temperature of something? Is it A, how bright or dark something is? B, how hot or cold something is? Or C, how big or small something is? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

The answer is B, how hot or cold something is.

Now, a thermometer has numbers on it just like these over here, and thermometers show us different temperatures.

And we can read the number next to the top of a coloured line which tells us what the temperature is.

So for example, on the first one it's 24 degrees, on the second one it's 18 degrees, and on the third one it's 30 degrees.

So it's where the top of the coloured line is.

Now the higher the number, the hotter something is.

So if we look at these three thermometers here, we can see that the third one is showing the hottest temperature.

Now, some cars have thermometers that tell us the temperature outside.

And some thermometers look a bit like a digital clock.

They have a number them which tells us the temperature.

So the digital thermometer that you can see in the second picture is something that you might use to put under your tongue when you're not feeling very well and to see what the temperature of your body is like.

Now, we can use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the weather in different seasons.

What do we use to measure the temperature? Is it A, a thermometer? B, a rain gauge? Or C, a clock? I'll give you five seconds to think about your answer.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

It's A, a thermometer.

Now here is your second activity for today and it says, "Tell a partner which clothes are best suited to wear in hot and sunny weather in the season of summer." So I want you to take a really good look at all of these pictures.

Which ones would you wear if it was summer? Okay, so I'd like you to pause the video here and have a go at doing that activity.

Off you go.

Fantastic.

Well done.

So Alex says, "In hot weather I need to wear clothes that will help me to stay cool.

I wear a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

A cap will help to protect my face from the sun.

When I'm not at school, I wear flip flops." Now it says, "Use a thermometer to measure the temperature for a week in summer.

Record the temperature each day." So you're going to have to stop the video here, go and measure the temperature from Monday to Friday for a whole week and summer, and record the temp temperature each day.

Once you've done that, you can come back to the lesson and we can share our results.

Okay, see you soon.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So let's have a look at what you measured.

So this is what I recorded the temperature to be on each of those days.

So the first day was 24 degrees, then it went down to 20.

Then Wednesday it was a bit chilly, so it was 14 degrees.

Then on Thursday it started to pick up again, so it was 22 degrees, nice and warm.

And by Friday it was quite hot.

It's quite hot then, it got to 26 degrees.

Now I want you to compare the summer temperatures with the winter temperatures you recorded, or use the winter temperatures below.

So I'd like to pause the video here and have a go at comparing those.

Off you go.

Fabulous.

Well done.

So Andeep says, "The temperature is much in summer.

It was warmer than winter on every day in summer." Now let's do a summary of your learning.

The weather is often different in each season.

Summer is the warmest season in the UK.

Temperature is how hot or cold something is.

And a thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of different seasons.

Now, I absolutely love summer because the flowers are out in bloom, the weather is nice and hot.

It's one of my favourite seasons.

Now, I'm so proud of you.

You have worked so well.

So, fantastic learning for this lesson.

I am really proud of you, and I hope that you have learned lots of fabulous new things.
