Room 8 have got tadpoles. As you can see, they are developing into frogs. The tadpoles that have grown legs, but are still swimming in the water, are called froglets. When a creature like a frog changes from one type of animal to another it is called metamorphosis. Frogs are a special type of animal called amphibians. Amphibious animals can breathe in the water and survive on land.

| Oliver and Blake are going to make some fly-traps so that we can catch some live flies for the frogs. The boys will need to make them soon because it looks like one of the froglets will be a frog any day now! |
This is the habitat we made for the frogs. They need to be able to get out of the water and onto land when they have finished growing their legs.
Your tadpoles look exciting and how old are they?. Have you caught many flies for them?. How many tadpoles are there?.

ReplyDeleteOur tadpoles have been here since last term. They were already tadpoles when Ms Jones brought them into the classroom, and we think they are over 2 months old now. We haven't caught many flies yet, or named our tadpoles. Lucy called the tiniest one Pipsqueak because it didn't grow as much as the other ones. Taane and other children have been trying to catch flies but they often escape. Miss Langdon and Oliver have put flies into the frog's habitat, but the froglets haven't left the water yet, so the flies are safe! In fact, sadly four of the froglets and tadpoles have died and we think it might be too cold for them to survive now. Amber says it is too late in the year for them to develop into frogs and prepare to hibernate.
