Croak! Croak!
This year in Room 13 we have lots of tadpoles in our tadpole tank - they have now all turned into frogs. While they were going through metamorphosis we loved going and checking on them each day to see what the changes were.
We read lots of books on frogs like :
Then Daisy found a great book at the Wellington City Library that she brought and shared with us.
It's a book about two tiny eggs, one in a pond and one on a tree, survive a brutal storm and hatch at the same time. Harold the tadpole and Grace the caterpillar become friends. But as they grow, they grow apart. It's a wonderfully illustrated book about the metamorphosis of friendship. We loved reading it in class and talking about all the things we have learnt about butterflies and frogs.
Thanks for sharing it with us Daisy!
We have done lots of learning about frogs and artwork. Here's some of the things that we have been creating and writing about in class.

Monarch Butterflies
During the first three weeks in class we have had caterpillars munching on swan plants, chrysalis and butterflies hatching and flying away. We were lucky enough to see a couple of the caterpillars spin their chrysalis' and watch them hatch into butterflies.
Here's some photos of us holding the butterflies after they hatched and a video of one of them making their chrysalis :

Welcome back!
The Christmas holidays have come and gone and we have now just had the first three weeks of the new school year back!
Over the last three weeks we have been getting to know our new classmates and meeting our class pets.
On Day 1 we read the book "First Day Jitters" and "Fancy Nancy - Jojo's First Day Jitters" and talked about what jitters are and how we were feeling about starting in a new class.

Our furry feathered class visitor!
Today we had Savannah's chicken come and visit us in class. We thought she was cute and that her feathers were so soft to touch!
