F2 have loved reading the story ‘Tad’ by Benji Davies!!!

This story has inspired us to explore the lifecycle of a Frog, discussing how Tad starts his journey and where he ends up!

We have learnt lots of new key vocabulary, such as ‘frog spawn’ ‘tadpole’ ‘froglet’ and ‘frog’… and discussed how the life cycle continues and goes round and round.

Mrs Wilkinson brought in some pretend frog spawn- chia seeds- we added water and mixed the gloopy mixture together to resemble real life frog spawn!

The children had a great time feeling and describing the spawn- describing it as “gooey’ “wet” “thick” and “gloopy”!

We had a great time mark making and drawing our own life cycles and could confidently talk about the process and change from frog spawn to frog!
