Sense the Seasons: Writing About Seasons, Sounds, Smells, Tastes, and Feelings for Grade 1

This Grade 1 writing worksheet helps young learners explore seasons using all five senses—sound, smell, taste, and touch—through simple and guided sentence-writing activities. The topic encourages children to observe the world around them and express their experiences clearly using age-appropriate vocabulary.

Designed for early writers, this worksheet strengthens sentence formation, descriptive language, and sensory awareness. Students practise writing short sentences about seasons, identifying animal sounds, completing sentences using sensory word banks, and describing how things feel during different seasons. These activities support both grammar development and real-life language use.

1. Seasonal sentences build observation and descriptive skills.
2. Sound words strengthen listening and vocabulary.
3. Sensory word banks support correct word choice.
