Fabulous Frogs!

This term our science topic is



We are going to learn about the frogs that can be found in our local area about their habitat.

To start we are going to explore the ponds (puddles!!!) around our school and see if we can find some frogs. We can certainly hear them, hopefully we will be able to observe some too!

Here's two photos I took of a frog that Jack found in the school yard on Tuesdsay.




Here is a picture of the frog that we found on our walk around the school yard today.



The following website will help you to identify the frogs that we found in our school yard.

Camp

Can you believe it? We will be on camp in just a few days time!  We can’t wait!

Here’s a list of things to remember to bring.

What to wear:
You’ll need to wear long pants and sturdy runners on the first day because we will be going for a long walk before we even get to the camp. 

What to bring on the bus:
Small backpack with:
  • snack
  • water bottle 
Everything else will be going in Mr I's trailer, you won’t be able to bring items on the bus.

What to pack:
As space is very limited, please don’t bring a suitcase. Suitcases take up lots of room that we don’t have in the trailer. Bags take up less room than a case.  Please make sure that if you are bringing a pillow, or doona that it is put in a bag so it wont get dirty in the trailer, there will not be very much room in the car to transport luggage.
  • Sleeping bag or sheets and doona
  • Pillowcase
  • Towel
  • Underwear and socks (1 pair for each day plus one spare)
  • Pyjamas or nightie
  • Jumpers / Windcheaters
  • Jeans / Shorts / Tracksuit
  • Indoor shoes (runners, sneakers, or slippers)
  • Outdoor shoes (runners, walking boots or shoes)
  • Toiletries (including insect repellent, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc)
  • Torch (a small torch is sufficient)
  • Waterproof jacket or coat
  • At least one complete change of clothes is needed
  • Please name your items


What NOT to bring:
  • thongs or sandals
  • mp3s, iPods, etc
  • mobile phones
  • singlets or strappy tops

If you bring a camera it is your responsibility to look after it.



Looking forward to a fun camp

Mrs I & Miss B!
