school journey

Last week we went on school journey. At first we had to say goodbye to our mums and dads and had to get on the coach. We finally got to the ferry and had lunch. We stood at the front on the top deck and it was incredibly windy. We got to the Isle of Wight and it was really hot. It took about an hour to get to the house and then a little walk.
When we got there we were put into groups to sleep with and then had a tour around the house. We had a practice of the fire alarm going off. We had to go a special way to get out. We had dinner and it was really nice.
We had an activity after dinner and it was very fun. We had face paint and there were two teams-red and blue. The game was called treasure hunt and we had cards that had numbers on them, and we would tag someone else that wasn't on our team, and the one who had the highest card took their card.
After everyone had twenty of the other players’ cards we each received a bit of a map and we had to put all of the pieces together correctly. When we had all of the map there was an x on it and then we had to go out and find the treasure. The person who finds the treasure first wins.
The next day was really fun because we went rock pooling and caught a really big red velvet crab. We got back for the next day and we went on a big walk which took 7 hours, but we learned about stuff like devils chimney.
On the final day and we had to pack up to get ready. But unfortunately we had missed the ferry, so we had to wait there for 2 hours and we had a hot chocolate. We finally arrived back at school. Exhausted!
