Ruby's Home Learning
Ruby brought her picture in from home today. She spoke about the frogs eggs that she had drawn and then pointed to the tadpole and named it. Ruby told the adult that when it is a frog it goes into the water. We then sang our nursery rhyme challenge, 'Three Little Speckled Frogs'. Well done Ruby!
