Hi I’m Keeva and I have a question for you!

Have you ever wondered what life as a polar bear would be like? Well I’m going to take you on a journey through what it might be like to be a polar bear.

Well what are we waiting for let’s go...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<       Habitat

Polar bears live in the arctic circle, which humans find freezing but for polar bears they don’t find it cold at all. In fact, often they actually get hot and find it hard to keep cool. That is because they have a type of fat on their skin called blubber. Blubber is a fat that mammals such as whales, seals and polar bears have to keep them warm in the cold conditions. 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<      Diet 

Polar bears eat seals, walrus, beluga whales and fish. But now they are finding it harder and harder to find food that they will eat pretty much anything they can find for example birds, rodents, reindeer and plastic.  Research has shown ingesting plastic causes polar bears to become irritable and aggressive, most likely due to blocked digestive systems as Polar bears are commonly seen rummaging through dumps. 

<<<<<<<<<<<<       Global warming 

Global warming is a serious situation you may not think it’s real but go ask any polar bear, they are severely affected. 

You maybe wondering what is global warming? Well global warming is a gradual increase of temperature in the earth, due to pollution. The Arctic is heating twice as fast as the rest of the globe average. Causing the ice that polar bears depend on to catch food and raise their young on to melt away. Leaving them stranded to swim through the ocean hunting for food and ice. It is now taking 60 percent more energy than expected for polar bears to catch seals. Since seals need ice to survive too. The polar bears are having to travel farther and farther to find them. Global warming is forcing them to starve and spend most of their time swimming to find food.

Research shows that it’s not to late to save the polar bears

<<<<<<<<<<<<       How you can help

If you would like to help save the polar bears from extinction, like me here a few ideas of how you can.

•  Recycle more it’s simple but effective
• Use your car less walk ride your bike when you can
• Avoid products with lots of packaging 
• Turn off your electronic devices when your not using them

These are just a few simple ways there are so many more, little changes can make a big difference.

<<<<<<<<<<<<        Summary

So I hope by listening you have realised how hard it would be to be a polar bear and that they really need our help. Wait before I go I would like you to think about something. 

Do you think you would survive as a polar bear? And how could you make a change for them?

Writing Nz Bird of the year

Which bird did you vote for, for the new zealand bird of the year?

Well i’m writing to tell you what bird i think should win. The Banded Dotterel (Pohowera) i think that this bird should win because it is very critically endangered and close to extinction. 

It is a small bird that lives along new zealand's coastlines, estuaries and riverbeds. They were actually founded in new south wales but now is commonly seen on seashores across the south island. The numbers of these birds are going down more and more day by day and we need to save them. 

Do you want to know how to recognise them well they are small birds with long legs for their size thin but lean. Different shades of brown lines across their whit belly they are of various widths and shades. 

Now here a few fun facts about them.

• They have a few other names such as: Double-banded plover and tūturiwhatu.
• Banded dotterels breed throughout New Zealand on sandy coasts, shingle and braided riverbeds, or sometimes farmland.
• Birds that breed on the coasts normally don’t migrate significant distances once nesting is complete but these amazing birds do. 
• There scientific name is Charadrius bicinctus

These are just a few cool facts about them so that brings me to a conclusion of why I would vote for them.

Writing Pedal power

To pedal power,

Thank you for helping us learn new tricks and techniques on our bikes.

I really enjoyed playing the turtle race and learning about pedal tapping. I didn’t know about all the ways to check the bikes from now on I will always use them.

Thanks again,

Keeva
