Create your own Weather forecast

Create your own Weather forecast

• Use this editable weather forecast to support ICT
  cross curricular. This PowerPoint will help
  children in Upper KS2 enhance their skills in a
  range of areas including Speaking and listening,
  literacy, ICT, Science, Geography and Maths.
• REMEMBER the learning outcome is to produce a
  forecast that they can present to the class so
  the children will need to be familiar with
  vocabulary that meteorologists use. Start by
  watching your local weather online or on TV and
  ask them to do a weather watch and write down any
  vocabulary they will use in their weather script.
• To use this you will need to have prior knowledge
  of teaching PowerPoint and being able to add
  custom animations, timings and transitions.
• Encourage the children to work methodically
  through this as they need to ensure that they do
  not end up with the weather symbol been shown in
  Edinburgh and the temperature in Manchester.
  They will constantly rehearse their script as
  they work through adding the timings to the
  forecast.
• Once the children become familiar with using
  this, extend their learning by asking them to
  create a title and summary page including
  clipart, word art and animated gifs that also
  have been animated and timed correctly.
• The children will be able to produce their own
  weather forecast to present to the class, which
  can be video recorded as evidence to support
  talking in the classroom.
• I taught this to Year 5 children and they loved
  it as it gave them time to show off skills in
  many aspects of their learning. They used the
  internet to insert animated alphabet gifs such as
  sites as www.cooltext.com www.heathersanimations.
  com but remember to stay safe on websites.
• I hope you have fun using this resource as much
  as the children will!
