Jump to it... Mrs Maxwell needs your help!


Mrs. Maxwell has asked for some help. If you have any frogspawn in your garden or you know where you can get some, please would you contact either us here at the blog or Mrs. Maxwell at school.


Facts about frogs:
  • Frogs travel to ponds in the Spring to breed (around Feb/March depending on the weather)
  • Each clump of frogspawn can hold about 2,000 eggs
  • Frogspawn can be killed by frost, other animals, drying out or disease
  • Frogs have excellent eyesight
  • A quarter of a frogs diet is made up of slugs and snails
  • Frogs are attracted to water by the smell of algae which is a great food for tadpoles
  • Frogs can breathe through their skin when they hibernate at the bottom of a pond
  • Frogs eyes stick up so they can see out of the water but remain hidden
