What to do in the class
Have pictures of Ralph around the room in different weather conditions:

Divide the class into 4 groups and give each a container with lots of different pictures in. Each child takes a picture from their container and decides which Ralph might need it. They then go and put it in a bag by that picture and return for another item.
