Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!

The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs

Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.

The Best Jumpers

Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length (5.5 cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.

The Cryogenic Animal

Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.

Dear Dairy,
Today is our Open Day. Our parents come and visit our school on this day.
Our school looks nice and big. The playground is very big and our classrooms are clean and bright. We also have an art room, a music room, a biology room and a small hall.
The Open Day starts at 9 a.m. in the playground. Everyone watches the students play different sports. Next we go to the art room to enjoy all the students’ pictures at 10 a.m. At 11 o’clock we all go to the school hall for a short meeting, and then we have lunch. After lunch, we have a little rest for half an hour in the hall. At 2p.m.we have a look at all the students’ work in the biology classroom. Finally we go to the music room and listen to some students play music at 4p.m.
Everyone has a good time at school on this day.
