On Wednesday it was our schol tour. On the bus I sat beside Denis. When we were on the bus Christian was singing an annoying song. When we got to Bishopstown Steven, me, Christian, Jake and Ryan were very excited, but when we got to Leisure World we were very very very excited. First we did exercise, then we talked about healthy eating. Then we changed to go swimming. When we were changed we went swimming. The pool was cold at the start but then I got used to it. After swimming we went back on the bus to go home. Again I sat next to Denis. When we got home I told my Mum all about it.

Hello, my name is Robyn. I am talking about my school tour. We went to Leisure World Bishopstown on Wednesday 4th of June. First we went to school at 20 to 8. In the morning the bus left at half past 8. So at school we met our friends. We were freezing while waiting for the bus. So we were talking about who would I sit with. Well in the middle of our chat finally the bus came. So we were going to the bus to get our seats. So when I was sitting with Julie we started talking about what do you think we will do first? It was too long for me. So me and Julie were playing Truth or Dare. Then most of the girls were saying we are nearly there, we are nearly there. And others were saying ya ya ho yah. So every body was pushing and shoving so I just sat back down until most people were gone. Then I got off the bus and I went inside looking for Julie. Then I found her. So everyone went outside we followed the others. Then we went up into a building and we met two girls. So we all went in and put our bags down. And then we started the fun. We first started playing Dodgeball. Well of course the boys won. Then second we did UniHoc. Then we did soccer. Then after soccer we did Wink Murder. Finally we had lunch, we had a nice yummy sandwich with a drink. When we were finished that I had an orange. I can tell you it was juicy! Then after we had tidied up our wrappers we played Bulldog. Then we went swimming yah yah! The water was cold then it warmed up. We started playing with the floats. Then after swimming we left the pool. Sadly we left LeisureWorld. Then on the bus me and Julie were talking just like you and me just did. Goodbye!

I woke up. I was surprised it was morning already. Then I remembered the school tour. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran into my Mum and Dad's room. I reminded them about the school tour and I had to get to the school quickly. So Mum got my breakfast. Then I put on my clothes, brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I was ready I got my bag and went outside. It was only a short walk to school and when I got there I met all my friends there and we were so excited when the bus came. And very soon we were at Leisureworld Bishopstown. When we got inside there were two women called Stephanie and Grace. They gave us numbers like one and two. I was a two and we played Dodgeball but the number ones won twice. But then we played Unihoc. I was on the red team and we won twice. After that we played Bulldog. I managed to escape the first three times but in the end I got caught but I didn't catch many people. And after that we played soccer, but Lisa, Ómaí, Denis and I were so tired we had to skip the football. We played Wink Murder. First the Murderer was Cillian, then it was Oscar and I got killed. Then we played Chinese Whispers. Some people didn't hear the word correctly and other things and it was very confusing. Then a man came in and talked to us about Healthy Eating which was very interesting. When he was finished Grace and Stephanie brought in our lunches. I had a sandwich with ham in it, a fruit which was an orange and a drink which was black currant, and crisps and the flavour was ? Well actually, my crisps were so cold and hard you couldn't taste them, but Ómaí said they were gorgeous so I gave them all to Ómaí. But the best part was the swimming, but first we had to go into the dressing room and change. When we were done we were ready to go into the swimming pool and I loved it. I swam under the water. I played with the floats. I even had a race with Jake but all too soon it was time to go home. Me and Ómaí were so tired we slept on the bus but when the bus stopped at my house and Ómaí's Dad was there, we woke and got off the bus, and I got home just in time to watch Frankenstein's Cat.
