The polar or polar bear is the only one that is classified in most countries (USA, Norway, Greenland and Russia) as marine mammal. The exception is Canada, which currently ranks polar bear to land mammals. Polar bears are at the top in the Arctic, where they feed mainly on seals.

Who are polar bears?

According to the latest data from numerous studies, the ancient ancestor of polar bears is Brown bear. Their origin dates back to about 350 thousand-6 million years ago. Unlike their brown relatives who live on land, polar bears are perfectly adapted to survive in the Far North. There are different populations of polar bears. In total, there are 19 species of different subpopulations of polar bears. According to more recent studies, there are four main groups. This classification is based on the features of the place where polar bears live: diverging ice, converging ice, seasonal ice and archipelagos.

The polar bear is the closest relative. Adult males usually weigh between 350 and 600 kilograms. Adult females are smaller - usually their weight is from 150 to 295 kilograms. Polar bears are considered centenarians. AT wild nature they live an average of 15 to 18 years, although biologists have recorded a few 30-year-old individuals. In captivity, some long-lived bears reach 40 years of age. A prime example of this is Debbie, a bear bred in captivity from Canada, who lived to be 42 years old.

Where do polar bears live?

The habitat of the polar bear is his habitat, where he can hunt, get his own food, and breed, building snow lairs for hibernation and protection of cubs. Polar bears are found throughout the Arctic. They most often live in areas where there is a population of ringed seals. The habitat of the polar bear covers the entire circumpolar Arctic.

These large mammals have adapted to live in water and on land. Unlike other bears, the polar bear is an excellent swimmer and can sometimes be seen more than 100 miles from land or ice. Currently, more than 40 percent of all polar bears live in Northern Canada, on the ice along the coasts of numerous islands.

Endangered

Polar bears are considered a fairly vulnerable species in terms of extinction. In Russia, animals are listed in the Red Book, which includes rare or endangered animals. In the United States, polar bears are listed as an endangered species on the Endangered Species List. Canada considers that they require increased attention within threatened national species. Measures to protect animals are taken at the legislative level.

The cause for concern is the loss of habitat due to climate change. Scientists predict that two-thirds of the world's polar bears could disappear as early as this century due to intense ice melting. The study also shows that it is still fixable if measures are soon taken to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The places where polar bears live should not be polluted due to the commercial use of the Arctic.

Polar bears: habitat

Bears are adapted to arctic climates where temperatures can drop to -45º C in winter. These animals have two insulated layers of fur that help them retain body heat. Besides, in Good times they also have a thick layer of fat. The compact ears and small tail also prevent heat loss. In fact, polar bears have more problems with overheating than from cold, especially when running. An excellent sense of smell helps them to hunt, and their claws can hold prey of 40-90 kg.

The place of the polar bear in the food chain

The habitat of these furry predators are arctic deserts. The polar bear is at the top of the Arctic food chain. In this way, a natural balance is achieved in order to prevent overpopulation of the habitat. When an adult bear is in good shape, the formed fat reserves support the body between meals.

Bears prey on ringed seals, sea hares, baleen whales. These white and fluffy mammals are excellent swimmers: they use their front paws as paddles while their hind legs act as a rudder. In addition, they have a wonderful sense of smell: they can smell their prey from a distance of one kilometer.

Offspring

Depending on the condition of the body, females usually reproduce two to three cubs every 4-6 years. As a result, polar bears have one of the slowest reproductive cycles in nature, typically producing no more than five offspring during their lifetime. The habitat of the polar bear allows you to choose a suitable shelter for the birth of cubs. Bear cubs are born in November or December in snow caves called birth lairs.

At birth, babies resemble large white rats, which reach a length of 30-35 centimeters and weigh just over half a kilogram. Blind, toothless and covered in short, soft fur, they are completely dependent on their mother for warmth and food. The cubs grow quite quickly thanks to their mother's high-calorie milk, which is about 31% fat. Baby bears stay with their mother until they are 2.5 years old.

Habitat features

The habitat of the polar bear may change as the animals may make long-distance land and water migrations along continental coasts or islands. Some individuals spend most of the year on land. Most pregnant females spend autumn and winter on the ground in their birth lairs.

The air temperature in the Arctic reaches on average -34°C in winter and 0°C in summer. The coldest zone in winter period is the northeastern part of Siberia, where the temperature drops to -69°C. The warmest areas in summer time the inland regions of Siberia, Alaska and Canada are considered, where the temperature can reach + 32 ° С.

Polar bears, whose habitat is in the northern subpolar regions, are often depicted in illustrations in popular fiction and children's books along with penguins. However, they live at different poles. Polar bears do not live in Antarctica: penguins live there on an ice-covered continent surrounded by oceans, while polar bears live in the Arctic.

Such are they, these amazing animals - polar bears.

Common belief: penguins and polar bears live wherever there is a lot of ice and snow. Although both species prefer extreme conditions, but in natural environment they don't live in the same area. The polar bears liked the Arctic, which the penguins did not like - they preferred Antarctica.

Polar bears have chosen North Pole, and penguins - South. Clubfoot enjoys a life associated with drifting ice. They would not have gone to land at all, if not for the period of raising babies. Bear cubs are born in dens on land, and as adults, they get used to life on floating ice.

The main "bear maternity hospitals" are located in the Arctic - on about. Vrungel, Severnaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land. Male polar bears are eternal wanderers. They are excellent swimmers and are able to swim more than a hundred kilometers.

About 25 thousand individuals live around the North Pole. True, polar bears do not like the pollution of the seas and global warming. These majestic beauties live near the northern coasts of Eurasia and America on floating ice. They are also found on the territory of Russia, on the islands of the Arctic Ocean.

Some wonder: could a polar bear live without ice? The answer to this question was given by nature itself, as well as to the question of where penguins and polar bears live. In the 60s, a colony of individuals was discovered on the coast of Hudson Bay (Canada). The bears spent most of their time on the ice, feeding on seals.

During the period when the ice melted, they went deep into the mainland. Moulting birds and their eggs became their food. But because of global warming the population has almost halved in 10 years - from 1600 to 900 individuals. Because of the melting ice, the bears simply did not have enough of their usual food.

And what will happen if the penguins are still settled in the Arctic? According to the director of the Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic Viktor Boyarsky, the population simply would not have survived there - no ecological niche. For natural movement towards the Arctic, there are no currents that unite the North and South Poles. tropical belt for penguins - an insurmountable barrier.

The polar bear does not even look into the territory where the birds live. After all, there are no extensive floating ice with polynyas. And this is the main "love" of polar bears. Therefore, in the habitats of penguins, clubfoot from the Arctic would not have survived either. They wouldn't be able to get their own food. Yes, and the nature of Antarctica is poorer, only rich undersea world. But polar bears have a chance to occupy these spaces. After all, the ice in the Artik is gradually melting. In the northern part of Antarctica, on the contrary, they are increasing.

Penguins like the Southern Hemisphere. They can be found in Antarctica and on the islands adjacent to the continent. There are also penguin colonies in Peru, southern Brazil and even Africa (southwest)! There are penguins in New Zealand and even in southern Australia. There are 16 different types, all of them are perfectly adapted to the aquatic way of life. True, they prefer a different landscape. Most prefer a rocky surface, but some love sandy beaches and grassy areas. There are even colonies of penguins that have preferred coastal forests.

The world around us - grade 1 of the EMC "School of Russia".

Topic: Where do polar bears live?

The goals of the teacher: to form ideas about the cold (Arctic Ocean, Antarctica, North and South Poles) regions of the Earth, about the diversity of life in these regions, find these regions on the map, features vegetation and animals; cultivate a sense of love for their homeland.

Lesson type: solving particular problems.

Planned educational outcomes:

subject: learn to find the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica on the globe, characterize them, exercise self-control; give examples of animals in cold regions; will have the opportunity to learn how to view and compare textbook illustrations, extract information about the animal world from them; make assumptions and prove them; understand the educational task of the lesson and strive to fulfill it; work in pairs, using the information provided to gain new knowledge.

Metasubject: to master the ability to understand the educational task of the lesson and strive to fulfill it; anwser the questions; to form a willingness to listen to the interlocutor and conduct a dialogue, evaluate their achievements in the lesson; relate the concepts learned to real-life examples.

Personal: the formation of a holistic, socially oriented view of the world in its limited unity and diversity of nature; development of motives learning activities and personal meaning of the doctrine; recognize the possibility of the existence of different points of view and the right of everyone to have their own, express their opinion and argue their point of view and assessment of events.

Educational Resources: a map of the hemispheres, a globe, slides depicting animals, a tape recorder.

I. Organizing time, the message of the topic and objectives of the lesson.

Ant. Recently I went to the zoo and saw a polar bear and a walrus in an enclosure with a swimming pool. Guys, I thought, where is the birthplace of these animals?

Where do the polar bear and walrus live? Maybe, you know?

Students. The polar bear lives in the North.

Teacher. Let us go on a journey to find out exactly where polar bears, walruses, penguins and other inhabitants of the cold territories of the globe live.

Guys, I have a seven-color flower in my hands. Let's tear off the petal, make a wish and say in chorus:

Fly, fly, petal

Through the west, to the east,

Through the north, through the south,

Come back, make a circle.

As soon as you touch the ground

To be, in my opinion, led.

II. Work on the topic of the lesson.

Ordered that we all be in the North as a class. You are all warmly dressed.

Here is the Arctic Ocean.

(Slide 2)

What covers most of the Arctic Ocean?

Students. Ice and snow.

Teacher

Students.North Pole. (Showing the North Pole by the teacher on the globe.)

Teacher. This is the Arctic. It has attracted people for a long time. Unfortunately, due to the development of the Arctic by man, its nature was in danger. Now hunting for rare animals is prohibited. A reserve has been opened on Wrangel Island (shows on the map).

(slide 3)

And then there's the white bear...

- Describe it.

Students. Fluffy, thick long hair, wide paws.

Teacher. What is it for?

Students. It's cold in the north. This is necessary for life in the north.

Teacher. The polar bear is the largest predatory beast on the ground. He lives only in the Arctic. He spends his whole life in the ice.

What do you think he eats?

Students. Fish.

Teacher. Of course, fish, but sometimes you don’t mind feasting on birds and seals. ( Slide 4)

Seals are very clumsy on ice floes and become prey to polar bears. The weight of a polar bear is about 700 kg. This is the largest predatory animal on earth.

Teacher. (slide 5)- Who is wandering among the ice floes?

These are male polar bears, and females, future mothers, lie down in snow dens for the winter. Here, in the dead of winter, tiny bear cubs are born, which are no larger than kittens. In the lair frosts and winds frosts and winds are not terrible for cubs. The mother feeds them with milk, warms them. When the cubs grow up and leave the den together with their mother, the bear will teach them to fish, and then seals.

Fizkultminutka.

(A song about a bear sounds from the movie Captive of the Caucasus.)

Somewhere in the world

Where it's always cold

Bears rubbing their backs

About the earth's axis

Centuries float by

Sleep under sea ​​ice,

Bears rub their backs

The earth is spinning.

(slide 6)

Teacher. Guys! And who is this?

Students. Walruses.

Teacher. Yes, those are walruses. They look like seals, but are much larger than them. You see how few animals have become in the north. The polar bear and the walrus are listed in the Red Book. The task of all mankind is to preserve them. Numerous vessels passing along the sea route pollute the water, various harmful substances enter here. Pollution of the northern seas has a very bad effect on the life of animals living here. Wise Turtle . Think guys, do polar bears hunt penguins?

Teacher. Let's find out where the penguins live.

Let's tear off a petal, make a wish and say in chorus:

Fly, fly, petal

Through the west, to the east,

Through the north, through the south,

Come back, make a circle.

As soon as you touch the ground

To be, in my opinion, led.

They told us to go to Antarctica as a class. (Points to the globe.)

(slide 5)

Teacher. What is Antarctica?

Students. This is a huge piece of sushi.

Teacher. What is Antarctica covered with?

Students. Ice.

Teacher. Which pole is located here?

Students. South Pole.

Teacher. Penguins live here in Antarctica. ( slide 6)

The largest are emperor penguins. Their height is 80 cm, and their weight is from 25 to 40 kg. Penguins are excellent swimmers. They eat fish and squid. In water, a penguin can run at a speed of 36 km/h. Sometimes he accelerates so much that he flies out of the water onto the ice.

So do polar bears eat penguins?

Students. Polar bears do not hunt penguins because these animals live in different parts of the Earth.

Teacher. In addition to penguins, albatrosses live in Antarctica. (Slide 7)

This is a large bird that can be seen off the coast of Antarctica. The wingspan of this bird is 3-3.5 m. (Stand three students side by side, arms outstretched).

Our journey has come to an end, but we will return to it again. And now I will wave my magic wand, and we will find ourselves in our class.

Where do polar bears and penguins live (lesson game)

Goals: 1. To form an idea of ​​the diversity of the nature of the Earth;

• 2. To acquaint with the cold regions of the earth - the North and South Poles, with the fauna of these regions;
• 3. Make an application from cut threads, instill accuracy;
• 4. Develop curiosity, cultivate love for all living things.

Equipment: 1. Globe;

• 2. Drawings of nature and fauna of the Arctic Ocean, Antarctica;
• 3. Flower - seven-flower;
• 4. Application sample; bear templates;
• 5. Each student has a cardboard blue color, woolen threads white color, PVA glue, scissors, signal cards of red and green colors.

Explanatory note

This integrated lesson of the surrounding world was held in the 1st grade in the third quarter in January according to the thematic plan.

The whole lesson is built in the form of a game-journey with the help of the Seven-flower Flower. Tearing off the petals of a flower, children find themselves where polar bears and penguins live; at the same time, they say verses from a fairy tale: “Fly, fly a petal, through the west and east, through the north, through the south, return, making a circle. As soon as you touch the ground, to be our way!" Work form - choral learning. Repetition of the material covered carried out in the form games"Yes - no" using signal cards. Introduction to new material goes through teacher's story, textbook work and in workbook, through practical work- application of a polar bear from cardboard and woolen threads, which helps to activate the attention of children, interest in the subject, develops creative independence. For consolidation of the studied material during the lesson conversation about where you've been, what you've seen and learned. Outcome given in the form assignments for logical thinking : "Do polar bears hunt penguins?" If the children answered this question and substantiated their answer, then the lesson achieved its goals.

During the classes

I. Organizational moment

Today we will go on a journey, visit the coldest regions of our Earth, find out where polar bears and penguins live. But first, WARM-UP.

II. Game "Yes - No"

Previously studied material is repeated in the form of a game.

Children have signal cards: a green circle means the answer is “Yes”, a red circle means “No”.

Guys, now we will play the game "YES - NO". I will read the sentences, if you agree with what they say, then raise the green circle, if you do not agree - red.

The teacher reads the sentences:

• - Were you adults in the past? (No)
• - Is the present what is happening now? (Yes)
• Will Saturday come after Friday? (Yes)
• Is the first day of the week Tuesday? (No)
• - Between Wednesday and Friday - Thursday? (Yes)
• Will summer come after spring? (Yes)
• - December, January, February is winter months? (Yes)
• Does spring come before winter? (No)
• - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are the months? (No)
• Does winter come after autumn? (Yes)

If there was a wrong sentence, then the children correct it, for example:

- Were you adults in the past? (No, we were babies in the past.)

III. Working on a new theme

• - Children, let's look at the blackboard and remember the topic of the lesson ( Where do polar bears and penguins live?
• - And the Tsvetik - the seven-flower will help us find out about this.
• (A flower with petals is attached on a magnetic board)

One student goes to the board, tears off a petal, and everyone says:

Fly fly petal

Through the west to the east

Through the north, through the south,

Come back, make a circle.

As soon as you touch the ground

Be our way!

The teacher continues:

• - Tell them to be where the polar bears live!
• (Children close their eyes, the teacher opens one half of the board, where pictures of the nature of the north, the animal world are posted)
• - Where are we? Snow, ice all around, it's very cold here. ( In the north)
• - We need to urgently arm ourselves with everything necessary. Look at task 1 page 31 in the Workbook and tell us what do we need? ( Hat, jacket, mittens, skis and snowmobiles are useful for movement)
• - There is a very cold area on Earth - this is the Arctic Ocean. Most of it is constantly covered with ice and snow (the Teacher shows on the globe and on the map the Arctic Ocean). The North Pole is located in this region of the Earth. (Show on the globe)
• - Look at page 72 of the textbook, who is meeting us? (Students look at the pictures and read the names of animals: walrus, seal, cod, skua, polar bear)

The teacher talks about polar bears:

Polar bears live in the Far North, beyond the Arctic Circle, among eternal ice and snow - on the islands and the cold coast of the Arctic Ocean. This is the largest, strongest and most powerful animal from the bear family. It weighs about 700 kg, and the length of its body reaches three meters.

Polar bears are covered from head to toe with thick white fur. The fur grows even on the pads of the paws, so the animals move easily and quickly on snow and ice. Bear fur perfectly retains the heat of his body. Thanks to their thick undercoat, they are not afraid of even the most severe frosts.

Polar bears are excellent swimmers and can stay in the water for hours. Water does not penetrate under their fur coat, and therefore, even in frost, they remain dry and they are not afraid of any cold. Bears in the most severe frosts bathe in icy water. They swim well, dive and often take long walks, moving away from land into the open sea for tens of kilometers. A lot of time the polar bear spends on floating ice floes, wanders along the coast and only occasionally goes into the depths of the land.

The favorite food of polar bears is seals, fish, seaweed, bird eggs, arctic foxes.

Polar bears hibernate in ice dens. In November or December, a mother bear digs a deep lair in the snow. After 1-2 months, two or three babies are born, who sleep with her in a warm den until spring. Polar bear cubs stay with their mother for about two years after birth. All this time she feeds them, takes care of them.

VI. Practical work

And now we will try to make our own polar bears.

The teacher demonstrates a sample application, and the order of work is determined:

• 1. Draw the silhouette of a bear according to the template on blue cardboard.
• 2. Take white woolen threads and wrap them around the fingers of your left hand (if the child is left-handed, then he wraps the fingers of his right hand).
• 3. Remove the threads from your fingers and cut into pieces, no more than 1 cm long.
• 4. Spread glue on the bear and apply cut threads. Work carefully.
• 5. Thick wool is ready, it remains to glue the eye and nose on top
• - How to do it? ( Cut out small circles from black paper and glue)

The students who completed the application before the others start doing task 2 in the Workbook on page 31. They find the differences in the pictures. The job is then checked.

VII. Physical minute

1. The cubs lived with their mother, 2. I'm not afraid of frost,

They turned their heads. I'm very close with him.

Like this, like this! (Movement) Frost will come to me

They waddled, Touched the hand, touched the nose.

And they drank water from the sea. (Show hand, nose)

Like this, like this! (Movement) So, you must not yawn

And then they danced, jump, run and play

Paws raised together. (Movement)

Like this, like this! (Movement)

VIII. Textbook work

Reading students in a chain read the text aloud on page 72 of the textbook. bear penguin antarctica arctic

The teacher asks questions about the content of the reading:

• What are the cold regions of the Earth called? ( Arctic Ocean and Antarctica)
• What covers most of the Arctic Ocean? ( Ice and snow)
• - Which pole is located in this cold region of the Earth? ( North Pole)
• - So, guys, at what pole do polar bears live? ( On the North)
• - There are two poles on Earth: North and South. (The teacher shows the poles on the globe) The region of the Earth where the South Pole is located is called Antarctica. Guys, what do you think, will it be necessary to take off warm clothes if we find ourselves at the South Pole, in Antarctica? ( No, because it's cold there too)

And now the Flower - the seven-flower will help us to be in Antarctica!

Again, the poem “Fly, fly a petal ...” is read in chorus, the student tears off another petal and the teacher pronounces a desire:

Tell our class to be at the South Pole!

At this time, the children close their eyes, and the teacher closes one and opens the second half of the board, where there are pictures depicting the nature and fauna of Antarctica.

• What part of the world are we in? ( In Antarctica)
• - What animals live here? Are they familiar to you? ( Children immediately recognize the penguins)

On page 73 of the textbook, children read the text, get acquainted with the animal world of Antarctica. The teacher talks about penguins in detail:

Cling to the shore of the steep cold.

Blizzard builds blue cities.

The wind rushes through the snow like a dog

Because frost bites his nose.

Even the ice is not used to this weather,

And the ice continent is bursting at the seams.

And the penguins, and the penguins, at least that:

They run out for a walk without a coat.

They are frosty - unfreezing:

Antarctica is a warm home for penguins.

In black coats, white shirts all year round

This amazing people is walking. ( G.Goppe)

Penguins are sea birds. They dive and swim well, getting their own food: fish, crabs, crustaceans.

Penguins cannot fly because they have flippers instead of wings to help them swim.

The growth of penguins is about a meter. The head and back are black with a blue and green tint, and the feathers on the abdomen are dazzling white. When the penguins come ashore, it seems that these are people leisurely walking in pairs and singly in elegant black tailcoats. Penguins do not have down feathers, but they do have a thick layer of fat under their skin that prevents severe frosts and winds.

It is always cold in Antarctica: no more than one degree of heat in summer, and 60 degrees of frost in winter. But even in such harsh conditions penguins hatch chicks.

In the midst of frost, the penguin lays one egg. The future parents greet the appearance of the egg with joyful cries, bow and thank each other. Then the father penguin takes the egg and hides it in fat fold on the belly. Now he will keep him on his fins for two months, standing in the bitter cold and strong wind almost without moving. All this time, the penguin does not eat anything and lives only at the expense of fat, which he accumulated in the summer. And the mother penguin at this time swims and dives into the sea, fattening up.

But then a chick appears, and now his mother is raising him. It doesn't last long. As soon as the penguin gets on its feet, it is sent to the penguin Kindergarten where he will be among other penguins under the supervision of adult penguins. And the parents, meanwhile, will go to sea for food for the kids.

• What is the name of the region of the Earth where the South Pole is located? ( Antarctica)
• - What is the surface of this huge piece of land covered with? ( Thick layer of ice)
• - What animals live here? ( penguins)

IX. Lesson summary

• - The wise Turtle has prepared for you a very interest Ask. Let's read this question on page 73 of the textbook:
• - Do polar bears hunt penguins? ( No, because these animals live in different regions of the Earth)
• - What cold regions of the Earth have we learned about? (Arctic Ocean and Antarctica)
• - What poles are located in these areas? ( North Pole and South Pole) Show on the globe.
• - Where do polar bears live? ( At the North Pole)
• - Where do penguins live? ( In Antarctica)
• “Today's journey has come to an end. How can we get back home?

The student tears off another petal, and the children read the poem “Fly, fly a petal ...” in unison, the teacher pronounces a wish:

Tell our class to go home!

The children close their eyes, and the teacher, meanwhile, covers the other half of the board.

Here we are at home in our class. We still need a magic flower. It will help you find out where elephants live. But this will be the next trip and in another lesson of the "World Around".

Thanks for the lesson!

The children are doing the task. Prepared students make short reports about - animals of their territory: the first group - about the skua, cod, seal, walrus and blue whale, the second group - about the sea leopard, ice fish, emperor penguin, albatross.

- In order for you to visualize the wingspan of an albatross, I ask three of you to stand in a line with your arms extended to your sides.

And now let's watch a fragment from the video film "Giants of the Arctic" about the polar bear.

Children are watching a movie.

- Polar bears live in the Far North, among the eternal snow and ice. This is the most powerful, strong and predatory animal on Earth. It weighs about 700 kg, and its body length reaches 3 m. Polar bears are covered from head to toe with thick white fur. They are excellent swimmers. Their favorite food is seals, fish, walrus cubs. The bear is listed in the Red Book. Hunting for him and walruses is prohibited.

The teacher shows the Red Book.

VII . Independent work

The teacher distributes test papers to the children. The children complete the tasks.

VIII . Practical work

U. Guys, the Wise Turtle has a question for you. Read it.

D. "Do polar bears hunt penguins"?

U. What do you think?

D. They do not hunt, as these animals live at different poles.

U. You all worked well and came to the same conclusion, although you worked in different groups. After all, this is very important for our expedition.

On the table you have maps of the animal world of both poles and sticker puzzles with images of animals. It is necessary to stick parts of animals in turn:

group 1 - animals of the Arctic,

group 2 - animals of Antarctica.

The work is done in groups.

- Well done! What kind beautiful cards! None of you are wrong. So, you have learned well where the polar bear lives and where the penguin lives, and our expedition was not in vain. What advice can we give people so that many generations will see these animals not only in pictures?

D. Protect nature, do not destroy animals.

IX . creative work

U. Now you will work in pairs. I suggest you make polar bears. You have stencils of bears on your tables. Pieces of white yarn should be glued on them - this will be the wool that covers the body of the bear.

The work is performed to the music of the song "Lullaby of the Bear".

X . Lesson summary

U. Raise your work. What beautiful polar bears you have! Such magnificent work could only be done by very friendly children. I am very satisfied with you and your work at the lesson. Lesson over!
