R.I.P. Ruby

We had very sad news when we arrived in class this morning - our class frog Ruby had died.

Here are some of the things we shared about Ruby in our Trust Circle this morning.

She was not usually very good at catching flies but she NEVER gave up trying.


She was funny when she was trying to climb up the side to hide in the corner.


She was special.


We were kind to her.


We loved having her in the class.


She was good at jumping.


Sometimes it was hard to find her because she was very good at hiding.


We didn't know her for very long.


She was the best pet.


She was funny when we had to move her out of her tank to clean it.


Everyone liked her.


We liked to watch her catch flies.


WE WILL MISS HER!

Frogs Frogs Frogs

This week we have been finding out about frogs. We have been reading books about frogs, talking about frogs and making origami jumping frogs. The children have been challenged to find out what sort of frog our class pet Ruby is. Is she a native frog or an introduced species? Click on the Delicious icon at the side of this page, then select Stacks from the top tabs. There are five sites that will help you find out.  This picture might help too.
