Descriptive Writing - Gustave The Crocodile

Over the past few weeks the children in the Room 8 writing class have been writing descriptions about animals. We first looked at the majestic tiger and then Gustave a large male Nile crocodile that plagues rivers in Burundi.

The children were learning how to use decriptive language to make their stories exciting and engaging for the reader.

The stories attached were very descriptive and engaging.

Well done to Luka, Lucy, Evelyn, Grace and Nikaylah.

Please read and post a comment.

Gustave the Crocodile

Gustave is a massive male Nile crocodile living in Burundi. In 2004 he was estimated to be 60 years old, 20 feet (6.1 m) in length and to weigh around 1 ton, making him the largest confirmed crocodile ever seen in Africa. (Wikipedia)

Post as many descriptive words as you can about this enormous fierce predator.
