In the words of Katie...toads, frogs, newts and guinea pigs ...what a great way to spend a Sunday morning! To top it off, the sun was shining & we had coffee & muffins for the workers.
3 GoodGymers, plus 2 honorary members finished the Beeston Primary School outdoor classroom project. We finished clearing the pond, creating a haven for wildlife, weeded the garden and moved the new outdoor furniture into place.
After saying hello to the resident guinea pigs, we spent a lot of time watching the frogs and toads in the pond.
We learned about the difference between frogs and toads. Frogs have thin, permeable skin that lets them absorb water and oxygen. A layer of mucus helps keep frogs moist and makes them feel slimy. On the other hand, toads have dry, thick skin. The thickened skin of their upper body helps them retain water so they can live in drier habitats.
Great work guys!
