Yesterday Ocean brought her tadpoles to school. We had lots of fun observing them.
Some of them had back legs and some had front and back legs.
We decided to be scientists and write our own information reports about tadpoles. We used our white thinking hat and Miss Dippie wrote down what we knew and what we had learnt from reading about frogs.
Here is Ocean's report so far.
Frog are amphibians. They live in water and on land. Frogs start as eggs. The frogs lay the eggs. Turn they turn into tadpoles. A tadpole goes through metamorphosis. First it grows back legs. Then it grows front legs. Next its tail starts to go. Then it is called a froglet.
Today we had Splash and Dash. It was really fun because we got to run and splash across the pool. Lots of mums, dads and grandparents came to watch.
We felt really proud because it was our first ever Splash and Dash.
Today our letter was e. We read the story of Elmer the Elephant who is different colours to normal elephants. One day a year the elephants painted themselves crazy colours and Elmer paints himself elephant colour.
