Froglet

Today Miss B made a sad discovery in Froglet and Show off's tank. The frogs have not been very active because it is getting cold and they stop moving to conserve their energy, a bit like hibernating. Unfortunately when she checked them today she found that Froglet had died. Miss B has buried him in a nice sunny place in the garden at her house.

Froglet and Showoff

Finally I have some photos of our frogs to show you. They are so good at hiding that I had to wait until it was very quiet to sneak up on Froglet and Showoff to take their pictures. Froglet is the little frog and Showoff is the big frog, please come in and visit them in our class. We wonder if anyone can help us find out what kind of frog they are?

Froglet and Show off

Jordan brought in some tadpoles for our class because we are learning about water. We started to see bumps coming from the back of the tadpoles and they grew backlegs and then bumps at the front and they grew front legs. They started to turn into a rounder shape. They started losing their tails because they use it for food to turn into a frog. They started jumping and climbing and they didn't need to be in the water all the time. Froglet was our first frog and then Show off. We called one of our frogs Show off because he is a show off and climbs and jumps around the tank. Froglet is a really fast swimmer. We changed the tank to make it a better home for frogs but they keep getting really dirty from playing in the dirt. We still have one tadpole in a separate container, he only has his back legs and his name is One eye because he just has one eye! The frogs are very good at camouflaging so they are very hard to see and get a photo for our blog! They are changing colour to suit where they want to hide. While we are writing this post Show off is staring at us from his pond, he is getting very cheeky!
