Hop Into Frogs
A teaching resource about frogs and wetlands around Corowa and districts
Hop into Frogs has been created for students and educators in the Corowa region to support frog-related learning opportunities and experiences in schools. It is tailored to the local environment and local frog populations.
Hop into frogs provides students with a real-life application while encouraging the exploration of wider environmental issues and environmental citizenship in class and outside of school.
There are two main components of Hop into Frogs - the teaching resource and an interactive presentation.
Sloane’s Froglet Song
I’m a little frog and my name is Murray,
I live in Corowa and I hop in a hurry,
I'm a Sloane’s Froglet just happy as can be,
I live in the wetlands and I chirp with glee.
I’m a Sloane’s Froglet and my name is Patsy,
I live in Corowa where the rushes are fancy,
I listen for Murray in the winter when he chirps,
Cos I love the weather, urp... urp... urp.
We’re Sloane’s Froglets, we’re in your hands,
We live in Corowa, we love wetlands,
In reeds 'n' rushes we like to play,
And in the cold weather we chirp all day.
