I would like to try the activity set about animals in the cold. I think this is a lovely topic for junior classes in particular and can be integrated into so many other subject areas aswell as Aistear. I would teach this lesson during the winter months and I would begin by reading one of the books I have in my school library about penguins/polar bears and we would discuss the type of climate they live in and how they adapt to it. We would also discuss the weather in our own country and how we adapt to the cold by dressing appropriately etc. We would explore the theme further during Aistear time. For art we would make penguins/polar bears and to link English writing we would write a few sentences on the animals also.
