Take a Look at some of our Save the Frog Posters

Save the Frog Posters and Brochures

We have been busy creating Static Images lately. We decided to make Save the Frog posters. We looked at lots of different posters/advertisements and decided what made them appealing to the audience and what didn't. We felt really passionate about designing Save the Frog posters because we have found out that a lot of frogs are endangered and we need to protect them to ensure no more species become extinct.

We decided on the following criteria for our posters:

Bright, attractive COLOURS

Tidy, sensible LAYOUT

TITLE that stands out

A BORDER that frames our work

Correct SPELLING

Relevant, interesting INFORMATION

Relevant GRAPHICS

MOTTO or SLOGAN to gain attention

LETTERING with good size and shape

What can we do to help the frogs?!

Tree Frogs - SAVE the FROGS!!!

Burrowing Rain Frogs

Spot the Frog

I found this picture on the DOC website. Kara Goddard from Hamilton Zoo took this picture on a field trip to the Bay of Plenty. How many frogs can you see in this picture?

There are three Hochstetters frogs in this picture, two green ones and a tiny brown one only 12 mm long. They are amazingly camouflaged and rely on sitting still so that their predators (or humans) cannot see them.

Maud Island Frog - Native NZ Frog

The Maud Island frog is one of only four native frog species in New Zealand and they’re not what you’d expect from frogs. They have no webbing between their toes, don’t croak, and there are no tadpoles. Click on the picture to be taken to a video about this special frog.

First Day Back

Today was a great day in Room 12. We spent time getting to know one another. We learned that we all have different strengths and when we put them together, we can accomplish anything. We talked about why we have the day off on Friday because it is Waitangi Day and we are going to make our own class treaty tomorrow. We read an awesome story called "Chrysanthemum." Over the next few days we are going to look into our own name origins, where they come from and why they are special to us.

Our theme for the first half of the term is going to look at the Living World in Science where we will study FROGS! Click on the frog pictures to be taken to some fun frog games.
