When animals are going missing in their town Gemma, Ned and Matt investigate to find out what is going on. Matt’s cat Boots has gone missing and so they check out the park where there is a strange noise coming from the water. When the children use a frozen chicken on a rod as bait they are amazed to see what happens, the chicken is taken by a crocodile, what on earth should they do now?
Teaching Points
Develops values:
- The self, recognising that we are unique human beings capable of spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical growth and development
- relationships as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and to the good of the community. We value others for themselves, not only for what they have or what they can do for us
- equal opportunities: boys and girls are encouraged to see themselves as different but equal.
