Dieren in de wereld als lesonderwerp
Het dierenrijk ... groot en omvangrijk. Terwijl je leerlingen een leeuw niet meteen zullen (kunnen) aaien, is hun huiskat misschien wel hun beste vriendje. Veel mogelijkheden dus om viervoeters en andere dieren aan bod te laten komen in je lessen.
Zoogdieren of reptielen: jouw lesmateriaal
Zoogdieren gebruiken als onderwerp, of toch liever exotische reptielen. Een laagdrempelige rekeningoefening kan plotsklaps zelfs populairder worden bij de kinderen als er dieren in voor komen. Toch is het niet onbelangrijk om het specifiek te hebben over samenleven met de dieren op onze planeet. Broodfok, stropers, dieren gevangen in erbarmelijke omstandigheden ... Dieren hebben ook gevoelens.
Werelddierendag
