Topic

Our second week of the new topic ‘Healthy Bodies’ starts with the children learning about the life cycle of a frog!  Discussion will focus on the stages frogs go through from frogspawn to being an adult frog and what they think frogs need to survive.

The children will learn key scientific vocabulary and be able to talk about what happens in each stage of a frogs development.

Interesting fact – did you know that frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at one time!
