Please does anyone know a poem called "Polar Bears"? It's for younger children ie KS1 (infants) and I'm needing to find a copy of it ASAP. Does anyone know where it is on the net or can anyone please cut & paste into an answer here please?? I will be most grateful!!

Many thanks in advance.

The Polar Bear

The polar bear by being white
gives up his camouflage at night,
And, yet without a thought or care,
he wanders here, meanders there,
and gaily treads the ice floes
completely unconcerned with foes.
For after dark nobody dares
to set out after polar bears.

Polar Bear

(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

The polar bear lives in Alaska,
He never gets cold in a storm,
He swims in cold icy water,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.

got any idea who it is by? I know there is a polar bear book by Julia Jarman that is used quite a lot in KS1.

Not sure if you will find anything on this site!!

A huge thank you to everyone, though I don't think any of those are the right one.

To Mrs Jo, it might be that book, does it have a poem about polar bears with lots of questions (and therefore question marks) in it?

I am a Key Stage 1 (Y1) teacher and I found these scant details in someone's previous planning (that person has now left and there is no sign of the book/poem. From the weekly plan it would apprear that the poem has lots of questions it it? Any ideas?

Many many thanks for your help. It is much appreciated!!! C
