The School Trip 🌳
Last Friday, Marlo and Noa went on a school trip to the forest.
They walked along a narrow path and listened to the sound of the birds.
Pip ran ahead, chasing butterflies, and Sniff found a small stream to drink from.

A day at the park
It is a sunny Saturday morning. Anna, Tom, and Sarah are excited because they are going to the park with their parents. They have been waiting for this day all week.
Anna brings her red ball, Tom brings his kite, and Sarah brings a picnic basket. Their parents pack a big bag with drinks and snacks. The family meets at the park gate. The park is big, with lots of green grass and tall trees. There are many people in the park. Some are riding bikes, some are playing soccer, and others are flying kites.
Anna and Tom start playing with the ball. They kick it back and forth, laughing and running. Sarah lays out a blanket on the grass and opens the picnic basket. There are sandwiches, fruit, and juice. It smells so good!
After eating, the family decides to take a walk around the park. They see ducks swimming in the pond. Anna wants to feed them, so she gives them some bread. The ducks are happy and swim closer to the shore.
As they walk, they find a playground. There are swings, slides, and climbing bars. Sarah climbs the ladder and slides down, while Tom and Anna take turns on the swings. Their parents sit on the bench and watch them play.
After a few hours, it’s time to go home. Anna, Tom, and Sarah are tired but happy. They say goodbye to the park and promise to come back again soon.
A Day at the Zoo
Last Sunday, Emma and her family went to the zoo. It was a sunny day, and many people were visiting the zoo.
While
Emma’s dad was buying the tickets, Emma and her little brother were looking at
the map.
They wanted to see the lions, the elephants, and the monkeys.
First, they walked to the lion area. The lions were sleeping under a tree. One lion was yawning while the others were lying in the sun.
Then, they visited the elephant enclosure. The elephants were eating grass and one baby elephant was playing with water. Emma took a photo while the elephant was splashing its trunk.
Later,
while they were walking to the monkey area, it started to rain.
Many people were running to stay dry, but Emma’s family brought umbrellas.
At
lunchtime, they sat at a picnic table and ate sandwiches.
While they were eating, some birds were flying nearby, hoping for crumbs.
In the
afternoon, they went to the gift shop.
Emma bought a giraffe key chain, and her brother chose a tiger toy.
Everyone was smiling as they left the zoo. It was a fun and exciting day!
