• The opening statement is followed by sentences that describe the event; what you saw, what you did, how you felt, what you learnt.

Trip To Spencer Park

On Friday, 104 people from Hornby Primary School went to Spencer park. We went there on a bus and I sat with Dominique and I showed her my Grandad’s work when we drove past.  The bus ride got bumpy when we were all most there because the roads are still damaged from the earthquakes.

When we arrived, we were told to make sure that the teachers could always see us. I found a coconut! I gave half the coconut to Jared. I thought that the coconut must have come from a coconut tree, but there were none.

First, we went for a lagoon walk. I saw some birds but they were far away and I didn’t know what they were called. I saw a cabin that was used for hunting. There was a brown horse and a black and white dog.

Next, we went for a beach walk. We collected shells and driftwood from the beach. I also found a crab’s shell and a dead bird. This gave me an idea for my art creation that I would do later at school.

I learned to keep hunting to find some good stuff the the beach.

On the way back to school I fell asleep on the bus. I whacked my head and then I woke up and we were going past my house. When we got back to school the bell rang and I got my scooter and my bag and went home but I fell off because I got really tired.
