Welcome to the jungle tadpoles!
We have been embarking on an exciting journey in our Jungle (Preschool) room over the past few weeks as we welcome our new centre pets (TADPOLES!) to The Jungle. This has been intriguing project for our children who have been asking lots of questions about their transformation process and wanting to learn all about it.
Our tadpoles have been doing some pretty cool things recently; like growing legs and losing their tails and our children have experienced an awesome learning opportunity to explore their ideas about the world with our awesome supportive teachers. We have had to learn what they like to eat to be able to feed them, where they like to live and how to clean their environment and watch the process of what happens when start to turn into frogs. Our children have enjoyed sharing their ideas through art by drawing their own tadpoles and doing lots of research about frogs to support this next stage.
We are very passionate about ensuring our children at BestStart Petone have opportunities to explore and make sense of the world around them and what a great opportunity this has provide to do so.
