Today for Sports Relief, everyone in Aqua Clase ran 1 mile – 3 times around the school field. Tremendous running everyone!!!!

 

Aqua Class had a busy week last week learning all about frogs. We visited the pond and were surprised to find lots and lots of frogspawn and when we kept really still, we saw lots of frogs swimming about in the water.

We carefully collected some frogspawn and looked closely at the eggs and drew or painted what we could see. We also wrote some independent sentences too.

Throughout the week we watched the frogspawn closely, looking for changes and we noticed that the full stops inside the eggs were turning into commas.

We learn about the life cycle of a frog..

First the frog lays eggs in the pond.

Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles.

Then the tadpoles grow two back legs.

After that the tadpole grows two more legs and becomes a froglet.

Finally, the froglet loses its tail and becomes a frog.

We drew, painted with poster paints and water colours and even made frogs out of plasticine.

We went to the library to find out more information about frogs.

Did you know. a group of frogs is called an army.

Did you know, tadpoles breathe through gills on the sides of their heads and frogs breathe using lungs.

Did you know that only male frogs croak.

What a wonderful week.
