Emelia's pets

Emelia brought in her two pet frogs from home to show everyone in preschool. The children were very excited to see them as these frogs are from the tadpoles we had last summer. They were very happy to meet their old friends and explored the frogs thoroughly. The children in the transition group learnt many things about Green Golden Bell frogs. They learnt that these frogs are introduced from Australia and are allowed to keep them as pets, but not the native frogs of NZ. We also learnt about other introduced frogs such as Southern Bells and Brown Tree Frogs by searching the internet. It was a great learning experience for the children in the transition group (Contribution 2:3).
