Today is the grades 1 and 2 field trip. We were supposed to
be going to a place called “fun dazzle” which is like a big wacky warehouse,
but because there have so many outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease we had
to change it. We ended up going to a big park in the city (I’ve forgotten the
name). The park is a lot like any normal park, except there is a lake, a
science museum, a 3D cinema and a small theme park inside as well!
I was going with grade 2 and had two children that I was
assigned to. When we got to the park the children were allowed to go on four
rides for free. This would have been really good except that the school had
picked the four rides and they were pretty lame compared to the roller coasters
we could see around us.
After the rides we went in search of somewhere to have our
picnic lunch, it was 33 degrees so it needed to be somewhere with a bit of
shade. The school lunch that we had been given consisted of a sandwich (a bit
like a cheap version of subway, but covered in mayonnaise, tomato, gherkins,
everything I don’t like!) a pear, a bottle of water, a hard boiled egg and a
yogurt (nothing like what we would call a yogurt back home). Pretty horrible so
I only ate my pear!
After lunch we had a walk through the park and a parent paid
for us to go on a boat ride on the lake which was nice. By this point it was
almost time to get back on the buses so we stopped for an ice cream and then
piled back on the bus back to school.
After school a bunch of us went out for dinner to The
Avocado Tree for Mexican food, then home by 8pm. Report cards are due next week
so everyone is stressed out and trying to get them done.
It was a lovely day, and I have decided that I want to go
back to the theme park without the kids! I had put suncream on and still managed
to get sunburn on my back and shoulders!
