My time at Eastern Beach, By Raymond

Eastern beach

One sunny day the school went to Eastern beach. Miss Paton said that the bus was late to come and we were waiting and waiting. At last the bus came. We went on a flash bus. When we go there we went to play games. One of the teachers called us in the water. First we put on our life jackets and floated like bumble bee laying on our backs. Later I got out of the water and had yummy fish and chips. They were yum. After that I had a little swim and we had to get out. We got to get out of our togs and got dressed to go back to school. Later when we got back to school I had a nice piece of fruit.. At the end Miss Paton asked some easy questions. We all went home. When I went home I said to my mum that I had an amazing time at Eastern Beach.
