Use this right after the goal slide to activate prior knowledge. Accept simple words like sun, rain, hot, clouds, windy, cold, sky. Briefly praise any English weather word students can share.
Learning Goal
Students will be able to identify and describe basic weather conditions ( sunny ☀️, rainy 🌧️, cloudy ☁️, windy 💨) using simple vocabulary and visual aids through a song, to express what the weather is like and their daily environment.
Students will identify, understand, pronounce, and use basic weather words.
Weather Detective!
Please, look outside. What is the weather like today?
Choose or write:
Today it is ________.
What do you see?
First, invite students to look outside or at the sky through the window. Then use a LessonUp open question or image choice. Ask for a visual clue after the answer. Expected words: sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy. This shows blended learning because students combine classroom observation with a digital response.
What is Weather?
The weather tells us what the air and sky are like during the day.
☀️ Sunny – The sun is shining.
🌧️ Rainy – Water falls from the sky.
☁️ Cloudy – There are many clouds.
💨 Windy – The air is moving.
What weather do you like most?
After introducing each word, let students point to the matching photo or icon. End with a quick preference response: 'Which weather do you like?'

Let’s Sing! 🎵
Listen to the song:
“What’s the Weather Like Today?”
Before we listen:
What weather words can you hear?
Listen and find:
☀️ sunny
🌧️ rainy
☁️ cloudy
💨 windy
CALL
Play the attached AI-created song from the provided link. Keep this as the main listening resource. If LessonUp allows, let students replay or pause. Ask students to raise a hand or tap when they hear a target word. This demonstrates CALL through audio-supported language learning.
Listen and Complete
Listen again.
Type the missing word:
Today is ______.
It is ______.
Look at the ______.
Listen again and check.
Use very short song-based prompts only. Students type the missing weather word or simple noun from the song vocabulary, such as sun, rain, clouds, or weather. Give immediate digital feedback and replay that part of the song. This demonstrates e-learning through LessonUp interaction and feedback.
Which word did the song help you hear?
windy
banana
pencil
window
Use after the song and listen-and-complete slides. The distractors are easy because this is Grade 3 and the goal is listening confidence.

In our lesson, we sing about weather. Today can be sunny, rainy, cloudy, or windy.
Echoes the song and nearby content. Replay the song if needed before students answer.

Weather Picture Challenge
Look at the photo.
Type the word:
It is ______.
Then say the full sentence:
It is rainy.
Use your best weather word.
Show four new real weather photos one by one. Students type a word, not just choose it. After typing, they say the full sentence aloud. Expected answers include sunny, rainy, cloudy, and windy. This combines digital images, typing, and speaking.
Watch and Find the Weather
Watch the video.
Before:
What weather words do you expect to hear?
After:
I saw ______.
I heard ______.
Use: sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy
E-learning
Embed the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/DYdhT2DMzes as a short support activity. Keep it brief and clearly secondary to the song. Let students predict two words before viewing, then respond after watching. This demonstrates e-learning through online audiovisual input.
Weather Reporter! 🎤
Step 1 – Digital
Look at the weather photo.
Step 2 – Classroom
A: What’s the weather like?
B: It is sunny.
Step 3 – Real world
Look outside: Today it is ______.
Students first use the LessonUp image, then speak with a partner, then connect to the real environment by looking outside. Switch roles after each image. Optional extension: 'I like sunny weather.' This clearly demonstrates blended learning.
My Weather Report
Write your short report:
(e.g., Hello! Today it is sunny).
You can write:
Today it is rainy.
Today it is cloudy.
Today it is windy.
I like sunny weather.
Students write one short sentence digitally, then say it aloud to a partner. Focus on producing language, not memorizing a text.
What do you say to ask about the weather?
How are you?
What is your name?
What day is it?
What’s the weather like?
Checks the speaking frame practiced in the Weather Reporter activity.
My weather report
Hello! Today it is cloudy. I like cloudy weather.
Model first, then let students adapt the weather word when speaking. The written answer uses one correct version; oral follow-up can vary.
Technology + English Learning
CALL → E-learning → Blended Learning
CALL
We use technology to learn English.
E-learning
We learn with LessonUp, audio, and video.
Blended Learning
We use digital work, speaking, and real weather.
Keep this visual and simple with icons such as headphones, tablet, classmates, and a window. Briefly connect examples from today: AI song, LessonUp tasks, partner speaking, and looking outside.
