This term, Class 3 are learning about ‘Growth and Change’.  

Searching for signs of new growth and changes linked to spring on our first visit to Pollok Park, we photographed bluebells, daffodils, blossoms, new buds…

…and, most exciting of all, we met some new calves!

We didn’t find any frogspawn or tadpoles but fortunately Mrs Chapman discovered some tadpoles in her garden pond and brought them in!

 

We found out on Youtube what tadpoles need to survive and set up a tadpole habitat in our classroom. Since then, we have been learning about the growth and changes that happen during the life cycle of a frog by observing our tadpoles, reading books and singing songs about the different stages of development. 

For the past two weeks at Pollok Park, we have been loving visiting the big duck pond and finally found some tadpoles! They were much smaller than the ones in our classroom.

As part of our ‘Growth and Change’ investigation, we will learn about the life cycles of other animals, including humans!  

This year, St Albert’s celebrates its 50th birthday, so we also want to find out about how the school has ’grown’ and changed since it opened. Class 1, 2 and 3 will be focusing our birthday celebrations on the 10 important years since the ALN Provision was first set up at St. Albert’s.  

 

Happy 10th birthday to us!
