We Would Like You All


To meet the latest addition to The Moose Family, well we have had him/her (don't think its a her as he is way too ugly) Freddie the Frog (formally know as Todd the Tadpole).

Our very own Kai James won him, well helped someone win him, - who in their right mind would enter a competition, answer questions do anything to win a tadpole ?

Answer : Ysoble & Kai

Kai and his year 2 class went on an excursion about 6, maybe 7 weeks ago to the Kranji Countryside - they got to visit a goat farm, a veggie farm and then lucky lucky them they got to visit a frog farm that would be an American Bull Frog farm to be exact. So in the weeks leading up to the excursion, knowing that he was going to be at the frog farm, Kai borrowed every book imaginable from the school library about frog's. He read them, he showed us pictures, he told us fact's about them, like did you know the American bull frog has one of the most sensitive snouts amongst frogs - WOW, I can just hear you saying.

Anywho, all his hard work did pay off. The day of the excursion just happened to be Ysobel's birthday, the story goes like this. They arrived at the frog farm and did the tour, they lady showed them all the awesome (Kai's word not mine) frog's, we even got to hold one, yipee I say. So at the end of the tour the lady says I have some tadpoles here, I will ask question's you get them right yipeeee you get 2 tadpole's. Like I said it was Ysobel's birthday and apparently giving her the correct answer to the question about frogs/tadpole's would make her day ? What the.... So our little man whispers the right answer in her ear, her hand goes up and yipeeeeeee she gets it right. She thanks Kai very much, but decides a thank you isn't enough - they should split the bootie that she has just won.

Hence we now have an American Bull Frog, another fact and this will make you all say y i p e e they grow to 25-30cm in length. Looking forward to that......

So Freddie is going strong, but sadly Ysobel's tadpole (didn't even get a chance to make the frog stage - well maybe it has) well got flushed, flushed alive much to Ysobel & Kai's horror.
