Antarctic Seals


  WALT- We are learning to summarise the main points of a  paragraph.

Seals are mammals that  live in oceans all over the world. All of the seals at Antarctica are non-eared seals.These seals have lots of blubber to keep them warm.

Seals have thick,short hair on their streamlined body,to keep them warm.They have flippers to help them be superb swimmers.Most of the time seals are in the sea.

All seals around the Antarctic ocean are fast and graceful. But some seals pull them self up to rest or to give birth to their pups in the Ice. Most of the time seals are clumsy and slow.


At  Antarctica most common seals eat Krill instead of krabs. In Antarctic there are 30 million crabeater seals.  Antarctic  seals live under Ice or maybe on Ice. Crabeater seals get eaten by Leopard seals because they are predators.

In Antarctica Leopard seals hunt penguins underwater but the penguins are afraid of them. Leopard seals can not move fast on land.

Weddell seals only spend the whole winter in Antarctica . They stay there freezing over and other seals  go to warmer parts of the southern ocean.

You thought carefully about the key words to jot down and have written clear sentences to summarise each paragraph.
