If you are lucky, you might hear this frog when you start at school.
Do you know what type of frog it is?
If you think you do, leave me a message in the comments (below).
I’ll give you the answer and a link to a great site about frogs when school starts.
We are very lucky at Cornish College to have such a wonderful diverse environment with lots of wildlife.
I wonder how many breeds of frog we will find?

All you have to do is watch a short video tutorial that will teach you what to do and then start identifying craters. It’s that easy! With SO much data to analyse the scientists could really use your help.
Check it out!

At school we have been learning about inventions. We have been inquiring into why people invent things and how they change over time. We started talking about computers and toys and how they have changed. We read a book about Robots and were really interested in an article about ASIMO. We did a search on You Tube and came up with these two amazing videos of ASIMO the robot created by Honda. Have a look
The first is from an episode of James May’s show BIG IDEAS and the second is the 10 year anniversary video.
