KS2 Weekly Junior comments
A recent survey by a nature charity found that most people in the UK have a favourite wild animal.
What is your favourite wild animal (not pet) and why do you think this animal is important or special to the world?
Leo (Year 5)
My favourite animals are lions because my friends call me Leo the lion and because lions have really good senses and they can tell if predators are near by. They have
vast fangs, they’re really good at hunting, they come in packs and they work together well. They are clever at catching prey and can see well in the dark because they have night vision and have sharp claws.
Kimberly (Year 6)
My favourite wild animal is a capybara. In South America they are wild animals. They’re my favourite because they’re so cute, calm and they’re from Peru. Here’s a fun fact: their teeth never stop growing!! They’re now very popular but they’re really hard to see.
