Chris Barrett from the Heritage in Schools Programme visited our class last Thursday. He told us all about his adventures on an expedition that he had won. He showed us a photograph he had taken of a polar bear. We learned that polar bears have black skin and transparent fur. Their fur scatters light, creating the illusion that it is white. Their black skin helps them absorb heat and stay warm in the Arctic.
After the presentation, we went outside and drew some cool spirals on the ground using chalk.
