Life Cycle of the Frog
Following our return to school after lockdown the three Senior Infant classes decided that it was time to learn a little more about frogs!

We made sure they had plenty broccoli to eat, air and we also cleaned their water while they were in their small container.
We watched them carefully making sure they had enough to eat
Slowly we noticed that these little tadpoles were changing in size, colour and shape.
