Jan Lishman (St Joseph's Catholic High School, Workington, UK) sent a wonderful PPT to introduce weather sentences and what to do in such weather.  Jan introduces her students to this presentation, as it is sung to the tune of Frère Jacques! 

And just below Jan's PPT, discover an other very useful PPT sent by Julia Brown (Dilworth School).  The attractive photos Julia uses in her presentation are excellent clues to introduce  a wider range of vocabulary and expressions to describe the weather.

►Weather: Match Sounds and Pictures
►Weather:Match Words and Pictures
