Prep Takes a Leap into Learning

The students in Prep kicked off an exciting new Science focus this term as they began exploring the life cycle of a frog. Their first discovery was that tiny frog eggs are called frogspawn and while we did not have real eggs on hand, our chia‑seed ‘frogspawn’ looked remarkably close. The students were eager to observe, touch and discuss how something so small could one day become a hopping frog.

As our investigation continued, the students learned that frogs are extraordinary amphibians, able to live both in water and on land. To bring this idea to life, we created our own edible frog ponds using wobbly blue jelly topped with a bright red frog. This hands-on (and delicious) activity helped students consolidate their understanding of how frogs grow and thrive in their habitats. 

We look forward to exploring the next stage of the frog life cycle as our learning journey continues.
