These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: Explore animals of the Arctic and Antarctic — polar bears, Arctic foxes, and walruses in the north; penguins, seals, and albatrosses in the south — and understand how polar animals survive extreme cold through thick fur or blubber, huddling behaviour, and seasonal changes like white winter coats

  Bounded objective: Separate polar location from adaptations to cold. Selected geographic/adaptation facts; no actual animal observation or exhaustive polar range claim.

• partial: Names at least 3 animals each from the Arctic and Antarctic

  Three examples each with Antarctic-region albatross caveat.

• partial: Explains at least two adaptations for surviving cold (blubber, thick fur, huddling, white camouflage)

  Insulation/huddling separated from camouflage.

• partial: Knows polar bears live only in the Arctic and penguins only in the Antarctic/Southern Hemisphere

  Arctic polar bears and broader Southern Hemisphere penguins distinguished; no all-penguins-on-ice claim.

• partial: If {{name}} sees a nature programme about the Arctic, can they explain how polar bears stay warm in freezing temperatures and name at least two differences between Arctic animals (north) and Antarctic animals (south)?

  Try offers taught-content-recall for the bounded objective; it does not establish every part of the source assessment. Selected geographic/adaptation facts; no actual animal observation or exhaustive polar range claim.
