Summer and winter clothes - Images - Year 1

In Year 1, children begin to explore the concept of seasonal changes and how they affect our choices in clothing. A visual presentation introduces them to the different types of garments typically worn during the warmer months of summer, as well as those needed to keep warm in the chilly winter season. Images serve as a valuable educational tool, helping children to distinguish between summer and winter clothes, and to understand the practical reasons behind why certain items are worn in each season.

The exploration of seasonal attire is not just about identifying clothing items, but also about understanding the characteristics of each season. By examining what we know about summer, with its warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, children learn why lighter fabrics, short sleeves, and open footwear are appropriate. Conversely, the lesson will cover the attributes of winter, such as the colder weather and shorter days, which necessitate the wearing of thicker, insulated clothing, and accessories like hats and gloves to maintain warmth. This educational activity by Focus Education (UK) Ltd helps to build the foundational knowledge of how seasons influence our daily lives, particularly in the way we dress.
