Polar Bears

The polar bear is a large bear with white fur and sharp claws that lives in and around the Arctic Ocean. It is endangered because of global warming, pollution and hunting. Sea ice is melting and breaking up and this means the polar bears can't hunt enough and they starve. Many bears also drown because they get too tired from swimming long distances looking for food.

Dolphins
The dolphins live in Europe. They are mammals. There are dolphins that live in freshwater, but the majority is in the oceans. They usually eat any type of fish. There are many species of dolphins. They are in danger because of the contamination of the water by metals. Also, they remain caught in fishing nets and die. Moreover, they die because they are in captivity for shows in small swimming pools.

The four seasons poem (illustrated by A Senior)

When spring is here

The sky is clear

Then - pitter patter - 

here comes rain

When summer comes

The insects hum

It's hot! Let's go and 

swim again!

 It's autumn now

The leaves turn brown

The wind is blowing them 

around

 Winter - hooray! 

 Let's go and play!

The snow is falling on the ground
