This is a pack of five lessons for K.S.1 children, based on the weather. Each lesson can stand-alone. Each lesson ends with a whole class dance, which if done with a smaller group of children could easily be used in an assembly.

CLASS DANCE
Each of these lessons culminates in a whole class dance. The movements required for the dance are taught, and built up throughout the lesson. This means that by the end of each lesson you will have a small performance should you choose to use it. A cut down version – using a small group of children - could easily be performed in an assembly.

MUSIC
The pack uses music in every lesson; whether it be simple percussion instruments or recorded music. The suggested recorded music is listed below:

• 'The Snow is Dancing' by Debussy
• 'Summertime' by Gershwin
• CD – BBC Essential Weather Sound Effects - Track 33 'Low - Pitched Wind'
• 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst – 'Mars'

PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED:

• Tambour & beater
• Maraca
• Tambourine
• cymbals

Rain: looks at the effect the rain has on a flower. Looks at the movement of the actual rain.

Snow: looks at the movement of snow. Looks at snowdrifts, which the children create in pairs.

Sun: looks at the effect the sun has on our body. Looks at how actions can be turned into movements.

Wind: looks at the effect the wind has on a kite. Looks at the movement of the actual wind.

Storm: looks at the movements of clouds, rain and lightening in a storm

This is a great resource but would have been handy to have the music list first (or downloadable mp3s) as I've had to source and buy the music so that I can use it.
