Polar Bear Experience at YWP 🐻‍❄️

Today we were very lucky to be able to have a video call live for the Project Polar at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were able to ask lots of questions and found out lots of information about the polar bears who live in Doncaster. We found out their skin is black and their fur is see through, they like to eat lots and meat and they enjoy playing with lots of different toys. A huge thank you to Alex who made sure we saw the polar bears swimming, walking and snoozing!

Handa finally made to Akeyo

In our experience lesson, we read the last part of Handa’s surprise where she finally made it to the village Akeyo lived in. She was so happy to see Akeyo but shocked that her basket was no longer filled with the fruit she had put in it but full of tangerines.

Classifying animals 🐟🐸🐍🐄🐧

Today in our science lesson we learnt the different classifications for animals, they are:

Birds 🐧

Amphibians 🐸

Reptiles 🐍

Mammals 🐄

Fish 🐟

We learnt that each of the different classes had warm or cold blood, webbed feet, could breathe under water, had fur or hair, dry skin and wings. This is how we were able to classify them into groups.
