I would choose a lesson about ‘Animals in the Cold’. I teach Infants and we always cover this topic in the Winter. I have always found that the children are so intrigued by animals from colder countries. I usually just focus on penguins but last year I had a child who had a huge interest polar bears so we looked at both animals from the Artic and Antarctic regions. It gave us a great opportunity to compare animals from both regions. Animals in the Cold is great topic to cover for Aistear. I have often put mini animals into ice cubes and have the children free the animals during play time. This has been something that was so simple to plan and gives the children great enjoyment when finding ways to free the animals. This has often lead to a conversation about how the ice would melt if the Artic Regions had warmer weather and how some of the animals would not survive the warmer weather.
