10 Special Guests

This week, we were very privileged to have 10 special guests joining us in the class for two days. James J was allowed to bring his 10 pet frogs to school and they proved to be a very exciting and fascinating addition to the class - particularly when they were chasing and catching flies.

The frogs are Green and Gold Bell Frogs and James has had them since they were tadpoles. They are only 3 months old and can expect to live for around 15 years.

Some of the boys were lucky enough to be able to have a turn at holding the frogs and they needed to ensure that their hands were wet, when they did this. There were a couple of hairy moments, when they managed to jump out of someone's hands and onto the floor - but thankfully all 10 went home accounted for.

What a wonderful way to enhance our stream inquiry, by actually having live subjects in the class to observe. Thank you to James and his family for sharing the frogs with us.
