I will be teaching a class that I had last year and I found them to be particularly interested in learning about animals. Therefore I would undertake the activity ‘Animals in the Cold’ with them in second class. I would first focus on us and what we do to keep warm in the cold creating a mini fact file on it. I would then focus on the animals listed in the activity (penguins and polar bears) and get the children to create fact files in pairs on each of these animals and how they keep warm in the cold weather. When this activity was completed I would move onto other animals that live in the cold and encourage the pairs to research them (using our school tablets and guiding them to specific search websites; kidrex for example) and create fact files about their chosen animals. They could then present them to the class/their groups and we could have a class ‘book’ on the different animals in the cold.
