Visit to the Frog Farm

Frog Farm Visit

The students gathered early in the morning at 0830 and were all excited to visit the frog farm. They were armed with snacks, drinks and caps. They were all feeling excited. When they arrived at the frog farm, they were introduced to the life cycle of the frog and shown the different developmental stages of the tadpoles. Nigel even had the chance to hold a slimy frog which jumped away from him. Following that, the students had a chance to feed the frogs before watching a documentary of the frog farm. Some of them even bought tadpoles! Let's see if they will turn into frogs.

The students returned to school and talked about their experience at the frog farm for the whole day!

Let's listen to what the Science monitors, Krystin and Yu Fei have to say about the trip.

Today, I went to Jurong Frog Farm with my class. We took the bus. When we reached the Frog Farm, we all got out. A lady showed us the stages of a frog life cycle. and got someone to hold a frog. Next, she brought us to a place where we could feed the frogs. There we took some frog food and threw it to the frogs. She then took us to a place where there are many tadpoles. We went to watch a short show and I learnt many things there. I learnt that a female frog lays 10,000 eggs because only some survive and they breathe through their skin. When we came out, we could buy tadpoles for ourselves. I learnt a lot at the Frog Farm

It was kind of boring and the only fun part was seeing Nigel holding a frog and feeding the frogs. I saw a boy throw a piece of frog food into the tub where the frogs were. A frog jumped and caught it in midair! I also saw a few frogs fighting for food. We saw newborn tadpoles too. They let us watch a video and gave us a booklet about frogs. The booklet states that when the tadpoles are in the egg, they feed on the yolk just like chicks. They are quite similar. After that, we came back to school. How wonderful it was.
