Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 students are learning about Spring, the life cycle of the frog and the fable, “The exploding frog” (aka “The frog and the ox”).

Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 students are studying the season of spring – and life cycles. These Youtube video clips (below) will help with the trickier concepts (frog attributes, such as their sticky tongue, etc) not conveyed visually in the big book, “Tadpole diary” by David Drew.
Time-lapse: frog spawn
Tadpoles eating bread
Frog fail! (Dragonfly escapes frog attack)
And, for a bit of fun:
Super Fly carries frog (haha)
We are moving onto Fables this term, and the first fable ties in quite nicely with the work on frogs in Life Cycles:
