WWF Live Lesson - International Polar Bear Day
This morning, Year 6 used their knowledge of the Arctic, gained from our Geography topic, to engage with a live lesson provided by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) in honour of International Polar Bear Day. Year 6 used their enquiry skills to make links between impacts on polar bears - for example, reductions in parts of the food chain - and conservation of the species. We learned about the adaptations of the species to their environments and factors that are contributing to population changes in the Arctic. The running message of conservation resonated with Year 6, as they continue to understand the localised impacts we can have on climate change and how this in turn can impact species like polar bears.
