This time for Learning Tapestry, our topic is on adaptations. We went to the zoo to learn more about how animals adapt to their surroundings.
We had a short talk on adaptations in an auditorium when we first arrived. There, we learnt what adaptations were. There are two main kinds of adaptations: - behavioural and structural. Behavioural adaptation is how animals behave according their habitat. For example, during a storm, polar bears will dig a hole in a bank and wait inside until the storm is over.
Structural adaptation is how an animal changes according to the surrounding. For example, polar bears have stiff hairs on their paws, which help them increase friction between their paws and the ice, so that they will not slip easily.
After the talk, we went to see the penguins for our station-based activity. After that, we went to see the kangaroos. One kangaroo crept from one enclosure to the other! We finished our activity and set off to watch the 'Elephants of Asia' show. At the show, we ate some snacks and I almost got splashed! The elephants were a bit playful. I laughed a lot there. Next, we went for lunch.After we finished lunch, we went to finish our activities.
The next day, we started on our projects. We had already done some research in the holidays. That project was the quickest project we had ever done! We presented but Sue-ann was a bit soft so we lost a few points.
On the whole, I really enjoyed this learning tapestry.
