Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.
I like to watch the way the wind
can spin a weather vane.
I like to wear my big blue boots
to splash with in the rain.
I like to ride my bright red sled
on cold snowy days.
I like to feel the sun’s warm rays
when I wade in the ocean waves.
Wind, rain, snow, and sun
Every kind of weather
is wonderful and fun!
We looked for a poem about sunshine as everyone loves the sun and we haven’t seen much of it recently! This has also been turned into a song (maybe the teachers can sing it to the class? ;-):
You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You never know,
dear,
how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
I like the fog
It’s soft and cool,
It hides everything
On the way to school.
I can’t see a house
I can’t see a tree,
Because the fog
Is playing with me.
The sun comes out
The fog goes away,
But it shall be back
Another day.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree.
These little children are asking you
To please come out so
We can play with you.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on me!
My weather poem is called Wind, and you sing it to ‘farmer in the den’
Wind
Wind can help us out,
In many many ways,
It can help to cool us off
On hot humid days.
It also helps move seeds
And takes them all around.
This way plants have space to grow
All over on the ground.
But wind can also harm,
All things in the way.
It can blow down trees and things,
On a stormy day.
As the drips drop upon my head
I get the feeling that my soul is being fed
drenching me in the rain from up above
a reminder being sent down of God’s constant love
I dance in the rain to keep my peace
the freedom gives me a feeling of such great release
the waters so refreshing to me
it opens up a whole new world to see
Continue to send a refreshing rains flow
I’ll dance around in it wherever I may go
cause rain is water that replenishes the earth
And helps to keep us clean for what it’s worth.
We found this one which Daniel liked!
Under my umbrella
I like to feel the drops
Of rain- it’s happy tapping
Of pitter-patter plops
Under my umbrella
I like to feel a dash
Of water as it hits the ground
And rises with a splash
Under my umbrella
I like to stay all dry
And enjoy the rainy weather
As it falls down from the sky.
Puddles
Big puddles, small puddles
Puddles in the lane
Puddles on the footpath
Puddles near the drain
Shiny puddles, muddy puddles
Puddles that grow
Winter puddles, icy puddles
Puddles of snow
Spring puddles, summer puddles
Puddles on the grass
Squashy puddles, sploshy puddles
Puddles to splash!
(Brenda Williams)

A rainbow of colours,
In the light, after rain.
There are seven of them,
And, each one has a name.
Red is the first
Rainbow colour in the sky.
Orange is next
Like pumpkin pie.
Yellow is the third,
Lemons come to mind.
Colour four is green,
Think of grassy hills to climb
Blue is colour five,
Like the water in a lake
The sixth is indigo
Blue-gray blends that you can make.
Violet is the colour
Of the last rainbow band.
Violet is flowery;
Like the pedals in your hand.
So, wave your arms above you
Cast your colours high
And, try to make a rainbow
Across a cloudy sky.
If you go out when it’s snowing
And look up to the sky
You’ll feel lots of icy kisses
As the snowflakes flutter by

Alex found this poem. We found out that adieu means goodbye as we hadn’t heard that word before.
“The Storm” by Jaymie Gerard
Before the storm
The sky turns gray
The clouds roll in
The sun tucks away
During the storm
The strong wind blows
The sky is wild
The rainwater flows
After the storm
The clouds say “adieu”
The sun peeks back out
The sky turns to blue
Fog 🙂
I like the fog
It’s soft and cool,
It hides everything
On the way to school.
I can’t see a house
I can’t see a tree,
Because the fog
Is playing with me.
The sun comes out
The fog goes away,
But it shall be back
Another day.
Borys loved this one about Sun:)
Mr.Sun
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,

To please come out so

Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on me!
