Today in our Science class we have studied that Polar bears live in the Arctic, in the circumpolar north and in areas where they can hunt seals. Penguins live on the opposite pole. Penguins and polar bears are destined never to meet!
It finally happened!
We have been working on the International Polar Bear Project for several months and today in our Science class we’ve received our certificates of participation, stickers, posters and the award!
It finally happened and we are so proud!
Congratulations!
POLAR BEAR ADOPTION
Daina-Isard has made a symbolic adoption of a Polar Bear through Polar Bears International Organisation. This will have a lasting effect on protecting and conserving polar bears and their arctic habitat.
Polar Bears International is the world’s leading polar bear conservation group – dedicated to saving polar bears by saving their sea ice habitat. Their focus is on research, education, and action. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, they are steadily making progress towards their goal of saving polar bears and the sea ice on which they depend by reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
REMEMBERING POLAR BEAR VOCABULARY
Today in K3 Science we have sticked the words of the body parts on a polar bear poster. We also have been listening to the story POLAR BEAR POLAR BEAR WHAT DO YOU HEAR.
THE POLAR BEAR DANCE
We have recorded our Polar Bear Dance to send the video to Polar Bears International. Have a look at it.
INTERNATIONAL VIDEO CONFERENCING FOR PROJECT POLAR BEAR CONTEST
Last Wednesday we joined the Virtual Award Ceremony by videoconference. We were able to connect with five other participating schools, and with Marissa Krouse and Alyssa McCall from Polar Bears International. Although there were some technical difficulties and interferences at the beginning it was amazing being connected with each other in one place while spanning 3 countries, and all to celebrate the passion and commitment to saving Arctic sea ice! Alyssa McCall, a biologist, answered our questions regarding Polar bears.
Have a look at the first picture we are in the second window on the right!
We finished the videoconference from the teacher’s room because it lasted until 5.18 pm!
PREPARING TOMORROW’S VIDEOCONFERENCE
Today we’ve had a rehearsal and a soundcheck for tomorrow’s videoconference with Polar Bears International.
Have a look at the photos. We are so thrilled!
THE POLAR BEAR DANCE
Polar bears do not dance but we are having fun creating our own Polar bear dance!
WE’VE GOT MAIL FROM POLAR BEARS INTERNATIONAL!
We have received Project Polar Bear iron-on patches and stickers for each participant, a DVD and a magazine to be used in the classroom. Have a look at the photos!
HAVING FUN COLOURING POLAR BEARS
In K3 Science we’ve been having fun colouring polar bears. Have a look at the pictures!
