Life Cycle of a Frog

Last term, one of the children in Room 5 brought in some tadpoles. We had to write a factual explanation about the tadpoles . It includes three stages in their lives. Here is my piece of writing.

Life Cycle of a Frog

Today I’m going to talk to you about a frog’s life cycle. A frog is a small amphibian that spends half of its life underwater and half of land. Here are the three main paragraphs that I’m going to talk to you about: eggs, tadpoles and a frog.

Eggs

Eggs are the first stage in a frog’s life. The eggs look like a little black dot with jelly around it.  The frog egg get laid in a group with lots of other eggs. There are sometimes more than 700 eggs in one group of eggs.

Tadpole

Now I’m going to talk to you about the second stage before the tadpole becomes a frog.  A tadpole looks like a head with a little tail and eyes.  In about 6-7 days the egg becomes a tadpole. The tadpole grows its front legs first, then they grow their hind legs. After the tadpole has its legs it spends a little bit of time out of water.

Frogs

The third stage after the tadpole has spent a few weeks under the water it becomes a frog.  The frog eats many different things when it’s an adult, for example blood worms, ants, fruit flies and small crickets. Finally when the frog has fully adapted into a grown up frog, he spends a lot more time out of the water.

My opinion in a frog’s life they always have three different stages eggs, tadpole and a becoming a frog.
