My Account of the school trip to the Zoo

We left school at 7.30 in the morning on a big old coach to get to

Paignton Zoo for 9am. Whilst we were on the coach the teachers told

us to take our bags with us and gave us our instructions for the day.

When we finally arrived at the Zoo we were allowed to go and see the

animals straight away. The first stop was the tiger’s cage. The tigers

were huge and ferocious looking, the teachers would not let us stay

there for long. Next we went to see the snakes. The snakes were

having a feed and were eating mice. The girls started screaming

hysterically after watching the snake devour the mouse. Consequently

teachers decided it was time to stop for lunch! A few hours later we

went to see the elephants having a wash. This was the highlight of my

day because the elephant shook water all over us- it was very funny.

We got back to school late, we were all tired but happy. “This is my

favourite school trip ever!” said my friend Jimmy. “Mine too’ I agreed.

It really had been a fantastic day.
