ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 ‘Search & Explore the Wolong Panda Sanctuary’ ???? An 11-Minute FULL EPISODE Adventure
Hey everyone! Are you ready for an exciting adventure with ABC, 1, 2, 3, and D? They love to explore and learn about new places and things. Join them as they travel around the world, make new friends, and discover amazing facts!
One day, ABC pointed to the whiteboard and asked, “What’s by the whiteboard?” It was the first clue to their next mission! They were going to learn about giant bears in a bamboo forest. “Wow! What kind of bears eat bamboo?” ABC wondered.
The teacher brought in a bamboo plant and explained that giant pandas love to eat bamboo. Did you know bamboo is a type of grass that can grow up to 3 feet in one day? That’s super fast! Bamboo is used to make many things like paper, floors, clothes, and even paintbrushes.
ABC and friends learned that there are only about 2,000 giant pandas left in the world. These pandas live in forests in China where there’s plenty of bamboo. They visited the Wolong Nature Reserve in China, a special place where pandas are protected.
At the Wolong Nature Reserve, ABC and friends met Jinmin, who was dressed in a panda costume. Jinmin explained that they wear costumes so pandas think they are other pandas. This helps pandas learn to live in the wild.
They also learned about a baby panda that was just born. Every panda is important because they need protection to survive. ABC and friends decided to help find a missing panda cub named Toow.
ABC and friends set off to find Toow. They learned that pandas have a strong sense of smell and love to eat bamboo. Pandas can eat a lot of bamboo, just like eating 200 apples in a day!
Finally, they found Toow and her mother, Milan, in a meadow. Everyone was so happy to see them together again!
ABC and friends had a great time learning about pandas and bamboo. They even made a paintbrush out of bamboo! They sang a song about their adventure and how important it is to protect the pandas and their home.
Thanks for joining ABC, 1, 2, 3, and D on this amazing adventure. Remember, learning is fun, and there are always new things to discover!
Grow Your Own Bamboo!
With the help of an adult, plant a small bamboo plant in a pot at home or in your school garden. Watch how fast it grows over a few weeks. Measure its height every week and keep a growth chart. Discuss with your friends or family why bamboo grows so quickly and how it helps pandas survive.
Panda Detective Game
Play a game of “Panda Detective” with your friends. Hide a small stuffed panda toy somewhere in the room or playground. Give clues related to pandas and bamboo to help your friends find the hidden panda. For example, “This panda is hiding where it might find bamboo to eat!”
Create a Panda Habitat
Use craft materials like paper, cardboard, and markers to create a model of a panda’s habitat. Include bamboo plants, trees, and a small pond. Discuss why each part of the habitat is important for the pandas. Share your creation with your class and explain how we can help protect these habitats in real life.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Hey everybody! Let’s go with ABC 1, 2, 3 and D! There are endless people and places to see. From the classroom, they can search and explore. With every adventure, you learn more. They visit countries near and far. They love to learn wherever they are. They see the world in a brand new way and make great new friends every day. ABC 1, 2, 3 and D, come along and you will see! The more they travel, the more you know. Get ready, let’s go!
She pointed to the whiteboard. “What’s by the whiteboard?” ABC asked. “The first clue to our next mission!” “A mission? What kind?” “One filled with giant bears in a bamboo forest!”
[Applause] “Wow! The teacher brought in a plant that she’s using tomorrow to teach us about a giant bear that lives in a forest far away. That’s bamboo! What does it have to do with giant bears?” The teacher said that’s mostly what they eat and that there are only about 2,000 of these bears left in the world. “Wow! If any more go away, they may be gone forever. If that happens, they’ll be extinct. We’ve got to find these bears and help them!”
“That’s exactly what our mission is! Sounds like we need to search. Let’s start with bears!” “Wow, look! A polar bear! Scientists believe there are between 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears in the world today. That’s a lot more than 2,000! Let’s narrow our search. What about bamboo?”
“Oh look, it says bamboo is actually a type of grass and it can grow up to 3 feet in one day! Wow! Lots of things are made from bamboo: paper, floors, clothes, and even paintbrushes. Oh, I want to make some bamboo paintbrushes!”
“This kind of bamboo grows all over the continent of Asia. Hey, there’s a bear! It’s called the giant panda. It says there are only about 2,000 left in the world, and giant pandas only live in some forests in China where there’s plenty of bamboo.”
“Wow! Giant panda cubs! They’re in the Wolong Nature Reserve in the Sichuan province of China. Oh look, ABC! In China, they’ve created a safe place for giant pandas to live. It was built to protect them—a sanctuary for pandas! What are we waiting for? I’m sure we can learn a lot about saving pandas there. Let’s go!”
[Music] “There it is, the Wolong Nature Reserve!” “Oh, look! Giant panda cubs! They are so adorable! Actually, they’re more like toddlers than babies. Still really cute!”
“I think he likes you, D!” “Oh good, ’cause I’m crazy about him! It’s feeding time for those two.”
“Uh-oh, it’s a wait! That’s not a real panda!” “No, that’s someone in a panda costume! Found it! And look who else I found—ABC, 1, 2, 3, and D! Welcome to the Wolong Panda Sanctuary!”
“Now, it’s very nice to meet you! I’m Jinmin.” “Oh, you’re probably wondering why I’m dressed like this.” “Costume party?” “Not exactly! Our goal here is for all the pandas in the sanctuary to be released into the wild where they’ll live in nature. That’s why we wear these costumes—so pandas see us as just other pandas.”
“Oh, that’s so smart! You want them to be able to survive in the wild without you!” “Exactly! Understanding how wild animals survive is my job.” “You must be a wildlife biologist!” “I sure am! You three came at the perfect time. A baby panda was just born last week!”
“A baby? Yes! It was a very special day here. That’s because every panda is very important!” “Right! They need our protection now to survive.” “Well, we’re here to help! Maybe all three of you can help me with something very important?”
“Anything!” “This morning, one of our cameras recorded a young panda cub separated from its mother.” “Oh no!” “Yes! It still needs its mother’s milk to survive. They can’t digest the bamboo until they’re older. Can one of you stay here to help the scientists with the new panda while the rest of us search for the missing cub?”
“I can help here!” “And we’ll help you find the panda cub!” “Great! ABC, we have to find that cub!” “We will! One, two, three, we will!”
“Wow! When I told you about releasing pandas into the wild, this is where I was talking about!” “Looks pretty wild to me! And there’s definitely plenty of bamboo for the pandas to eat!”
“My app shows she’s nearby. Keep your eyes open! Can you see her? Her name is Milan. She had a cub last year named Toow.” “Look! She’s sniffing the air! Pandas have a very strong sense of smell.”
“Well then, Toow’s not nearby or she’d smell it. Where else could Toow be?” “Good thinking, ABC! Well, Milan and her cub love a little meadow that’s not too far from here.”
“It’s so tiny! I can see why you feed some of the babies until they’re strong enough to return to their mothers. When they’re born, baby pandas have almost no hair and can’t see, so they need a lot of care.”
“How big does a giant panda get?” “Oh, you haven’t seen a full-grown giant panda yet? Well, we’re going to change that right now!” “Is that Toow?” “No, that panda’s older. We’re almost there! Toow and her mother’s favorite place is on the other side of the stream.”
“Oh, let me help you!” “That’s okay, we got it!” “ABC always takes the most challenging path!” “I know, it’s more fun that way!”
“I can’t believe one panda can eat that much bamboo in one day!” “I know! That’s like eating 200 apples in a day! They can spend about 12 hours a day eating, and males can get up to 350 pounds. No wonder they’re called giant pandas!”
“Oh, how cute! Look at those cubs playing! Oh, I can’t wait to tell ABC and 1, 2, 3 about this!”
[Music] “These golden snub-nosed monkeys sure are fast! I read that golden snub-nosed monkeys also eat bamboo.” “Yes, but unlike pandas, they eat lots of other plants and fruits too!”
[Applause] “Look! It’s Bon! Could she have smelled Toow’s scent?” “Let’s hope so! We don’t want to scare her away. Let’s hide!”
“Milan is searching down by the stream. Can you see Toow?” “Nope, but I have a feeling that she’s really close.” “Me too! Toow, we found you!”
“Oh, they look so happy together! Thank you for your help today!” “Yes, mission accomplished!” “That’s amazing! It looks just like Toow and her mother!”
“So you were able to make a brush out of bamboo?” “Mhm!” “ABC, you’ve got to see this!”
“ABC, what happened to your eyes?” “I’m working on my panda costume! How’s it look?”
“Now it’s time to sing along! We heard about a place with bamboo and giant bears. We wanted to explore it, but we didn’t know where. A search shall find the answer to our big mystery. We went to China to a panda sanctuary. A newborn baby panda is very, very small, but as it gets older, it can grow to 5 feet tall. They only live in China, so the bears are very rare. Their habitat is the bamboo forests that are there—enormous, fluffy teddy bears of black and white! That’s how giant pandas look. They’re an awesome sight! The forest where they live must be preserved, so China set aside the Wolong Nature Reserve. We learned so much at the Wolong Nature Reserve!”
