Chart paper for illustrations
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter) Time: 5–10 minutes
Teacher asks: How do we protect ourselves during rain? What should we do during dry, hot days? Students share experiences
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
- Teacher shows pictures of children wearing raincoats and using umbrellas during the rainy season. Students point and repeat: “Raincoat!” “Umbrella!”
- Teacher shows pictures of children in light cotton clothes drinking water during the dry season. Students say: “Light clothes!” “Drink water!”
- Teacher guides pupils to discuss:
- “What happens if we don’t use raincoats in the rain?” (We get wet and sick).
- “What happens if we don’t drink water in dry season?” (We get thirsty or tired).
- Practical demonstration:
- Students role-play putting on a raincoat and carrying an umbrella.
- Students role-play fanning themselves and drinking water in hot dry weather.
- Teacher brings a picture/model of a gutter and explains how cleaning it during rainy season prevents flooding.
- Students pretend to sweep, clean, and water plants to care for their surroundings in different seasons.
- Drawing activity: Each child draws two small pictures:
- “Me in rainy season” (wearing raincoat/umbrella).
- “Me in dry season” (drinking water, wearing light clothes).
Assessment Checks:
- Teacher asks:
- “What should we wear during rain?” (Raincoat, umbrella, boots).
- “What clothes do we wear in dry season?” (Light clothes).
- “How can we keep our homes safe during rainy season?” (Clean gutters, cover food).
- “What should we do for plants in dry season?” (Water them).
- Teacher checks students’ drawings/role-plays for correct seasonal care examples.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
- Rainy Season Care:
- Wear raincoats, boots, and use umbrellas to avoid getting wet.
- Keep surroundings clean by sweeping and cleaning gutters to prevent flooding.
- Boil or filter drinking water to avoid sickness.
- Dry Season Care:
- Wear light clothes because of the heat.
- Drink plenty of water to stay healthy and prevent dehydration.
- Water plants to keep them alive.
- Keep homes safe from dust and bush fires by cleaning surroundings.
- Practical Connection: Caring for our body and homes during different seasons keeps us healthy, safe, and comfortable.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment) Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Recap personal and home care practices for rainy and dry seasons
Evaluation Method (Expanded):
Exit slip/quiz: Students name one way to care for body and one way to care for home in a season
Teacher will collect slips and provide oral feedback
Assignment (Expanded): Draw a picture showing how they care for themselves and home in rainy and dry seasons
Follow-up Activity: Practice seasonal care activities at home and report to class
