How Bears Hibernate 🐻🧸

How bears hibernate?   

bears enter a light of sleep called topar. Hibernation is a thing that all animals do.

bears don't sleep. Bears hibernate but aren't sleeping the whole time   . Hibernation for bears simply means they don't need food’ water’ or to urinate or defecate . bears do wake up however move around in the den/cave it's kind of like your dog sleeping. 

For hibernating animals like black bears waking them up early can be  dangerous for famous hibernators like the black bear such as lions can be present during a threat during their famous winter rest a more common one is a human. Not because they will attack a bear but because they will wake it up. 

Today we were learning to use complex sentences.

I found it challenging to find facts.

Next time I would change the photo and some of the information. I enjoyed writing about how bears hibernate

 On Monday our class (Room 1) went to the technology museum. Mrs Torry came in on Tuesday after we went to the museum and did cybersmart with us. I enjoyed finding images from the past and present that told us all about technology and how it was used. I found it challenging to work out what the images were of the things from the past because it was hard to recognise what they were used for. My digital learning object shows I can analyse and synthesis the images from the past when I worked out what they were all about.
