Here they are. Repeat the following words after me: season, winter, spring, summer, autumn, weather, cool, cloudy, sunny, windy, rainy, snowy, foggy.
T: I think you know that every season has three months. Can you match four seasons to these groups of the months.
Ps: Yes, we can.

P5:We say: “It is foggy.”
T: What do we say when it is 20°C below 0°C ?
P6: We say: “It is cold.”
T: What do we say when it is about 0°C ?
P7: We say: “It is cool.”
T: What do we say when it is 20°C above 0°C ?
P8: We say: “It is warm.”

My hands upon my head I place,
On my shoulders, on my face.
Then I raise them up and high,
And my fingers quickly fly.
Then I put them in front of me
And gently clap them – one, two, three.
T: Please take your seats.
5. Listening
