Greetings from Kabafita Lower Basic School in The Gambia. How are you all in England? We hope you are all well and we are so glad you are our friends.
We are all very excited. We are going on a school trip. We are going to visit the crocodile farm at Kachikally near Bakau.
We have all been reading stories about crocodiles in English – like this one by Roald Dahl called “The Enormous Crocodile”
Here we all are at the crocodile farm at Kachikally, near Bakau
The pool has over 100 crocodiles. The water is very green – like pea soup. It is over 500 years old. The pool is very famous in The Gambia and is a sacred pool. It is believed that women who are bathed in the pool become very fertile. So women who are having trouble having a baby travel many miles to the pool.
Some of the crocodiles have seen so many human visitors they have become tame and you can stroke them!
We like crocodiles. We even have one on our one dalasi coin.
We really enjoyed our visit to the crocodile farm. Now I want to tell you a joke. A man goes in to a cafe and he says I want a crocodile sandwich and can you make it snappy?
We are going to have a go at narrating two crocodile stories.
We are going to say Good bye now. We hope you enjoyed the presentation. And we hope we will hear from you soon. Bye.
