The School Trip

Tomorrow Leo’s class goes to the science museum. The teacher, Mrs Park, talks to the class. “Be at school at eight o’clock,” she says. “The bus leaves at half past eight.”

“Do we wear a uniform?” Sam asks. “No,” Mrs Park says, “but wear comfortable shoes. We walk a lot.” Leo writes in his notebook: shoes, eight o’clock.

At home, Leo’s mum helps him. “Take your lunch in a bag,” she says. “Do I take water too?” Leo asks. “Yes, please.” His little sister Amy laughs. “I don’t go to the museum. I go to nursery!”

In the morning, Leo runs to the bus stop because he is late. Sam waves from the window. “Do we sit with a partner?” Leo asks Mrs Park. “Yes. Sit with a partner, and stay in your seat on the bus.”

At the museum, the guide says, “Leave your bags here, but you can talk!” The children laugh. Leo smiles. It is a great day.
