We wonder....

20/1/2016

We have started learning about Polar Regions. We have come up with some questions about this topic.
We wonder:
Where do penguins live? In the North or South Pole?
Do all penguins eat fish? What if they don't like fish?!
Can polar bears swim?
Can polar bears run fast?
Can penguins fly?
Do people live in the South Pole?

We will use lots of different resources including stories, videos, visitors, and pictures to help us investigate these questions! If you find a picture, book or any resource which shows us the answer please encourage your child to share it in school.

Hello Ms Emerson ,

Did you know : Orcas use echolocation to talk to each other and hunt. They will make a sound that travels through the water until sound waves hit an object. Then, the sound wave will bounce back to the orca. Using this technique, they are able to detect where objects and other orcas are in the area. They can also find out the size and shape of an object using echolocation.

When orcas are born, their dorsal fin is flexible, but it stiffens as the calf ages.

Orcas are black and white for a reason; their coloring helps to camouflage them by obscuring their outline in the water.
