My first month in Africa.

Hi guys,

Guess what we went to? A crocodile farm of course!  We saw lots of crocodiles. 

Some had their mouths open 

and some were swimming.  

We even got to hold this cute baby crocodile.  

Don't worry though because there was a rubber band around it's mouth.  Now I know what you are thinking, a rubber band can't be strong enough to hold a crocodile's mouth closed but it is, because funny fact, crocodiles use 120 muscles to close their mouth but only 3 to open it, so it only has to be strong enough to hold those 3 muscles.

I also had a 'Where's Wally' day on Friday at school. We had to dress up as Wally wearing red and white striped T shirt, jeans, black boots if you had them, hat and glasses.  Some kids even had a walking stick like wally.  Can you spot me in the big group photo in the newsletter by clicking here. I've give you a hint, I am no where near the back. 

It was book week so we had a fun time answering questions about books. Then we went on a walk around the school hunting for Wally stickers that the teachers had hidden. Some people won prizes but I didn't win any. 

I am starting to make friends. It is hard when you don't know anyone and are from a totally different country where they think I have a funny 'AUSTRALIAN' accent.  At least we all speak English, but I miss you all lots. Hopefully you guys will be able to write comments on this blog so it will be an easy way to keep in touch.

Until next time, God bless you.

Love Lucy.
