Hi again!
Today we walked down to the pond and collected some tadpoles!
Usually we are able to collect hundreds of them to keep in the classroom but due to the colder weather, we could only collect about 15 between the two classes!
We are keeping them safe and we may even feed them some boiled cabbage when they get a bit bigger. They may eat each other, as this is what happens in the wild. The children think this is disgusting!
We watched this video that you may wish to share with your children again about how tadpoles develop into frogs.
Can you spot the tadpoles in the round bowl? There is one to the bottom left corner if you look closely! They love to hide and swim around! Look at all the delicious algae and leaves they have to eat!
Pretty soon, we will be receiving our caterpillars in the post!

Abigail was very excited to tell me all about the tadpoles today!
Thanks for your comment! We hope they will be happy in our classrooms! Now the weather is improving and it is getting warmer, we are hoping some more will come to the surface so we can let the children catch a few more.
