The children will learn about various Arctic animals, their adaptations to the cold environment, and their roles in the ecosystem. The book: “Polar Animals” by Wade Cooper will be used as a resource for learning. Can you name an animal that lives in the Arctic? Why do you think they live there and not in Australia? Discuss the responses. Then show pictures and brief video clips of various Arctic animals (polar bears, Arctic foxes, seals, walruses, and snowy owls). Discuss key characteristics and adaptations: Polar Bears: Thick fur, fat layer, large paws. Arctic Foxes: White fur for camouflage, small ears. Seals: Blubber for warmth, streamlined bodies. Walruses: Tusks for breaking ice, blubber. Snowy Owls: White feathers, sharp talons. Use the map to show where the Arctic is located. Discuss how the extreme cold affects the animals and how they adapt to survive. Report Writing: The children will be asked to do further research on an Arctic animal of choice. They will be asked to include habitat, diet, adaptations and a fun fact. The children will present their reports to the class to share their interesting information and participate in question time to reflect on what they have learned.
