Exciting start to the week at Hampton Vale! We are thrilled to share that we have discovered frogspawn in our Forest School pond! Over the next few weeks, every class will have the opportunity to observe the fascinating process of metamorphosis up close. The children will be watching carefully as the frogspawn develops into tadpoles and, eventually, frogs discussing and exploring the changes they notice along the way. What a fantastic real-life learning experience for our young scientists!
