Habitats and hibernation!

This morning we learnt all about habitats. Did you know that different types of bears live in different parts of the world? We had some pictures of bears and we had to match them to the place they live. We also looked on the globe to find the different places, such as China, where pandas live in the bamboo forests, and the North Pole, where polar bears live.

In Play and Learn time we looked at the globe and a smaller globe which has animals we can stick on with velcro. Some of us also sorted other animals into different habitats, for example, the desert, the ocean and the rainforest. Jack was super at this!

This afternoon we were learning all about hibernation. This is when some animals go to sleep through the winter. We read the book 'When will it be spring?' and talked about what hibernation means and why some animals might hibernate. Then we sorted pictures of different animals and talked about whether they hibernate or not. Do you think these animals hibernate?

Hedgehogs?
Cows?
Bears?
Dogs?
Goldfish?
Bats?

Tomorrow we are going to learn all about one of the types of bears we've looked at yesterday and today and explore their habitat in more detail. Which bear do you think it will be?!
