Alligator Frenzy

In our room we have been exploring alligators big time!
It all started when we read a shared book called Mrs O'Malley's Surprise. She had a shocking alligator problem and this got us wondering about alligators and crocodiles. Before long we were on a fact finding mission to discover how the characteristics and lifestyles of  alligators and crocodiles are different. If you ask us, we can tell you how to tell the difference.
Next the alligators invaded our story writing and now alligator stories are being written by many children. We hope you like Tama Parker and Logan Galbraith's stories. They got inspiration for their stories from Quenton Blake's "The Enormous Crocodile. 
We are not finished yet! Mrs Richards is presently putting lots of work up for a reading display. Some of our facts and questions are on some 3d alligators. Come and have a nosey!!!
Other work is being stuck in our Celebration Books to take home very soon.
One website we will look at even has alligator cake. Now wouldn't that be fun to do? Maths and reading all in one!
