How do arctic animals stay warm?

1st Mar 2024

As part of their World Around Us topic ‘Polar Regions’ the boys and girls have been learning about blubber.

They know that blubber helps to keep warm blooded mammals like whales 🐳 , sea lions 🦭 and polar bears 🐻‍❄️ stay warm in the Arctic and Antarctica.

First they put their hands into icy water, then they put their hands into a bag that was surrounded by lard. This acted as blubber and they were amazed when they couldn’t feel the icy cold water at all. 😊🐳🦭
