Reception The Lifecyle of a Frog

Date: 2nd Apr 2026 @ 10:31am

This week in Reception. the children have been exploring the world through an exciting hands on experiece at our school pond.  We carefully colled some frogspawn to observe back in the classroom.  After setting up a special observation tank, the childtren have been watching daily changes and learning new vocabulary such as frogspawwn, tadpole, froglet and lifecycle.  Using books, magnifying glasses and videos, they've been discovering how frogspawn transforms from tiny eggs to tadpoles, then froglets and finally adult frogs, which we will return safely to the pond.  This has encouraged curiosity, care for liviing thinfs,and scientific thinking, helping the children develop observational skills, languag, and understanding pf how living things grow and change.
