Innehållsförteckning för February 2015 från It GiRL

Hello It GiRLs, Happy New Year and welcome to our very first issue of 2015! I love this time of the year because a whole 12 months of unknown possibilities and adventures lie ahead. It's the perfect time to start afresh, make a list of things you would like to achieve and set about making them happen. It’s also summer, which means holidays, ice-cream and visits to the beach! The It GiRL team has put together an awesome boredom-buster guide packed with fun things to do before school goes back - take a look on page 26. When I was younger, one of my favourite things to do during the school holidays was to have water balloon fights with my younger brother. We would spend ages filling up the balloons,…

ALL ABOUT THE... Frog There are approximately 4740 species of frogs around the entire world. Frogs mainly live on insects and small animals like earthworms, minnows and spiders. Frogs don't need to drink the way we do: they absorb water through their permeable skin. The world's tiniest frogs are smaller than a dime, and the largest frog can grow to be longer than 30 centimetres and weigh over three kilos. Many frogs can jump 20 times their own height.
