the example of recout text
On Thursday 24 April we went to
the Botanical Gardens. We walked down and boarded the bus.
After we arrived at the garden,
we walked down to the Education Centre. The third grade students went to have a
look around. First, we went to the first farm and Mrs. James read us some
information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that we went down
to a little spot in the Botanical Garden and had a morning tea break.
Next, we did sketching and then
we met the fourth grade students at the Education Centre to have lunch. Soon
after that, it was time for us to go and make our terrariums while the fourth
year students went to have walk.
A lady took us into special room
and introduced herself, then she explained what we were going to do. Next, she
took us to a pyramid terrarium. It was really interesting.
After we had finished, we met the
fourth grade students outside the gardens.
Then we boarded the bus and returned to school.
