Conall – I have a stone frog in my garden but I didn’t know it was lucky in Scotland. What does the word absorb mean? Think about something that mum and dad might use in the kitchen everyday that would absorb water or juice that has been spilt.
Hi Mr McCloskey
I hope the frog in your garden is good luck to you.
The word absorb means to soak up. This would be a sponge or paper towel.
