Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
It has been an exciting week this week with the introduction
of Raph the frog and his little tadpole brother. Izabella brought them in to
share with us, until the frog loses its tale. We had a great time observing
them both. We also drew pictures of them and discussed the changes we might see
over the coming days.
‘It’s body looks like a fish. It’s got a tail.’ Izabella
‘I wander why the big tadpole isn’t moving?’ Sebastian
‘That’s not a big tadpole. It’s a frog.’ Raphael
‘Do you know frogs do magic tricks? They jump away!’
Christian
‘The frogs tail goes back up into its body.’ Izabella
When the frog mysteriously disappeared over night, the
children came up with some interesting ideas for where it might be.
‘Maybe someone killed it.’ James W
‘Maybe someone took it home.’ Izabella
‘Maybe someone took it home and ate it.’ Asterios
‘Maybe someone took it out and stepped on it.’ James W
‘I miss Raph.’ Marcus
‘Maybe someone put their hands in and grabbed the frog and
took it out and stepped on it.’ James W
‘Maybe somebody grabbeded the frog.’ Leo
‘Do you know maybe the frog……um.’ Andre
‘Maybe it’s hiding. Maybe it’s hiding in a good spot.’ Luc
‘Maybe a person, before any of the teachers were here, who
it wasn’t their class, and looked and saw something that they really liked and
took Izabella’s frog.’ Asterios
‘Maybe someone took it and they put it in the deep, deep
water at the beach.’ Luc
‘Maybe someone naughty came into the classroom and took it
away and a shark ate it.’ James W
‘Maybe someone accidently took it to their home.’ Hugo
‘My mum didn’t take the frog home.’ Ethan
‘Maybe he jumped out to where the food is.’ Seb M
Perhaps the frog has run off with the three blue marbles
that are missing from the marble run? We look forward to their safe return
soon! Have a wonderful break over the holidays. We are looking forward to our
Unit of Inquiry next term, Paddock to Plate.
