Activity 2 Look, listen and say.
Objective: to practise using the weather words in the structure “It’s ...”
STEP 1: Tell the pupils that if we say just one word “sunny”, it is not enough. In order to make a sentence, we must say “It‟s sunny”. When we listen to the weather forecast, the chief forecaster should always say that. So practise the pronunciation of sentences showing pictures and gestures. The pupils also must gesture together with you and repeat the sentences after you in chorus and individually.
STEP 2: After that, call individual pupils to the blackboard. You will say one of the sentences, and the pupils will show the corresponding picture and gesture. Then, on the contrary: you will call individual pupils to the blackboard who gesture or show a picture, and the class will say the sentence in chorus.

Activity 3 Play “It’s Sunny Today”. Objective: to consolidate the new structure

Say that in this game chief forecasters will make the decision and offer the pupils to select them. Explain that the chief forecasters will be those children who were the most active or sang songs best of all. You can also point out a different criterion, which the pupils will use to select the chief forecasters. However, say that the main forecasters will be other pupils in the next lesson. If you choose 2-3 chief forecasters, it will cover more children to answer.

Activity 4 Look and do.

Objectives: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils; to introduce the new commands “Ski!”, “Skate!”, “Play hockey!” and “Play snowballs!”
Say that it is difficult to reach the magic apples in winter. There is much snow around and it is cold. However, there is a way out. It is necessary to learn how to ski. Here introduce the command “Ski!” Show that you are fastening skis to your feet and taking ski sticks in your hands, and imitate as if you are walking on skis. The pupils must imitate skiing under your commands “Ski! Ski! Ski!”
Then say that it is necessary to learn how to skate as the river is frozen. Introduce the commands “Skate! Skate! Skate!” and imitate as if you are skating on ice. The children repeat your movements. Then say that if we are on ice, we can play hockey. Introduce the commands “Play hockey! Play hockey! Play hockey!” and imitate as if you are playing hockey with a hockey stick. The children repeat your movements.
