In class we learnt about explanation texts. everyone got to choose an animal that wasn’t a mammal and talk about its life cycle.
this was my one
The life cycle of a Frog
Frogs are small carnivores. Frogs skins is very protective because it’s poisons. Some frogs can even absorb oxygen and water from their skin. They have more than 5 thousand species. They have a very interesting life cycle.
Frogs live for 10 to 12 years. Frogs begin their lives as tadpoles that are hatched from jelly covered eggs. The mother frog would lay thousands of eggs. The jelly covered eggs have a very bad taste so it’s protective to other preditors.
Tadpoles are born with gills so they can breathe underwater. They have a big head and a long tail. Their gills go once they’re an adult. Tadpoles are very fast at swimming.
After a few weeks these tadpoles are no longer tadpoles they now grow their hind legs. But most of the time they swim in the water most of the time. Their hind legs help with jumping.
Later the hind leg tadpole grows its front legs. For them they are like teenagers because they still have their tail at the end of them.
As a result the eggs legless tadpole, the hind leg tadpole the front leg tadpole all turn out to be an adult frog.
