Today my tadpoles arrived. I told my kids that I had a surprise for them but we had to get through all our other work done. We got there!
Before showing my students I had them draw a picture of what they thought they looked like and one sentence about them. We shared our ideas, most either thought it was a fish or a little frog.
I then showed my class our tadpoles - they were amazed. So many questions and want to knows about tadpoles and frogs. Love to see their excitement. We ran out of time for more learning. Can't wait to do this unit with my class!
Will frogs bite?
Do they have teeth?
We are starting off with 12 tadpoles however I have a feeling they may not all last.
Day 2
I had a PRT day so I left some activities for my reliever. My students had to brainstorm where frogs live, what they look like and how they change. Below are the photos that they did. After the brainstorm they used some of the class books to answer some of the questions and displayed them on the pink post-its.
Day 3
Today we were looking at the life cycle of frog. We began by sharing our ideas of what we though happened. I then showed my students a video
Once the video finished I had a poster with the pictures missing and my students had to work together to decide on the stages. They then completed their own lifecycle pinwheel.
The book below is also a great teaching tool as it helps explain what happens at each stage.
We are down to 4 tadpoles today!
Day 5
Today my relief teach was in class and I left a labelling activity for her to do. My students were required to talk about the parts of frog and then label them.
Day 6
Today we were learning about camouflage and why frogs have this special ability. We then went and coloured in a frog and had a competition to see who could camouflage their frog in the class.
