Lesson Planning
Learn about animals that live in cold climates and think about how hard this must be. Discuss ways that animals adapt to their habitat to help them. Write some of these animals down by segmenting. Watch a video clip about cold habitats and remember some information to share with the class. Paint a favourite cold climate animal to add to the texture collage. Create ‘cold’ dances to the soundtrack of Frozen, role-play with small-world animals and make their own polar bear.
Children will:
- Name some animals that live in cold climates.
- Begin to understand how they have adapted to their environment.
- Use their phonic knowledge to spell animal names or hear the initial sounds.
