Our Year 1 and 2 students have been very busy this week creating a weather comparison picture.

We’ve been looking at globes and discussing how Australia and Germany experience different seasons at the same time of year. We have been using vocabulary like equator, southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere.

The students then needed to draft two sentences into their books; 1 describing the weather in Australia and another describing the weather in Germany at the same time of year. This helps the students to compare the weather types. Our Year 2 students were challenged to create longer sentences using the joining word, ‘und.’

Once the sentences were drafted, the kids got creative! They could use crayons, pencils or colour paper and cellophane (or a combination of all of these) to create a comparative art piece.

The final products will be laminated for the students to keep.
