Spellings (20mins) should be
practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.
You need to:
• look at each word
• say the word
• copy the word in first space
• cover the words and try to write it
from memory
• check to see if they are right
This week your spellings contain
the suffix –ible and –able which we have been practising for handwriting. Look
at the way the suffix changes the meaning of the word.

Introduction
ReplyDeletePolar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world, rivaled only by the Kodiak brown bears of Southwestern Alaska. Polar bears sit at the top of the food chain in the biologically rich Arctic. The most carnivorous of the bear species, polar bears feed primarily on the fat of ice-dependent seals. The remains of these seals provide food for many other Arctic wildlife species, giving polar bears a vital role in their ecosystem.
Diet
Polar bears survive in these extreme climates because their fur is made of fat and is very thick. A thick layer of blubber beneath their fur provides buoyancy and insulation. Polar bears feed almost exclusively on ringed seals and bearded seals. They are also known to eat and walrus, bowhead whale, beluga whales and bowhead whales. There are between 20,000-25,000 polar bears.
Habitat
Polar bears are only found in the Arctic. The most important habitats for polar bears are the edges of pack ice where currents and wind interact, forming a continually melting and refreezing matrix of ice patches and leads (open spaces in the ocean between sea ice). These are the areas of where polar bears can find the greatest number of seals.
