      words.

Year 8 trip(day 2)

Day 2:

  At 7am, my friends and I woke up by our awesome teacher Ms Suzy. After we had changed, we went for breakfast. Just like yesterday, we had a spectacular breakfast. Then, it was time to leave Bukit Tinggi and travel to Cherating. It was a long drive, it was 3 hours. Most of us in the bus slept since it was a long journey. After we had arrived,we were happy that we had arrived. Instead of having a buffet lunch, we had  packed lunch. While I was getting my lunch, it was started to rain heavily. We were dashing back to the hotel and luckily we were not soaking wet. We had an enjoyable lunch. Then, we went to our rooms.After that, we went to the Cherating Beach. The scene was fantastic. I loved the sound of the waves and the soft sand. Then, we learned about the waves. There are 2 main types of waves, one is called constructive waves and another is called deconstructive waves. In Cherating Beach, the type of wave is called deconstructive wave. Here is a picture of what I learned about deconstructive wave:

Year 8 trip(day 1)

  On 8th March to 10th of March, we went to Bukit Tinggi and Cherating for school trip. It was awesome.
Here is what we did:

8th March(Tuesday)                                                                
  At 8.30am, we hopped on the bus. We reached Bukit Tinggi around 10.30 am. When we reached there, we went to the reception. We were still happy even though it's drizzling. Instead we checked in our hotel, we went to a room where we learned about the types of shots taken in movies, magazines and more. It took about 1 hour to learn. It was interesting. Then, we checked in our hotel. Some of us had troubled finding our rooms and we are really far apart from each other. So, the teachers decided that they are going to change our rooms so that we can close to each other. Then, we had lunch. Lunch was fantastic. The food was delicious! There were laughter and joy while we were eating. Next, we walked to a man-made water playground where we did cool stuffs, like rope crossing. My favourite part what I did was rope crossing because I didn't know that I could walked across the river by holding the rope and walked on the rope. After we had done doing the activities, we made a raft. After we had done making it, we had a race! It was a fun experience. Guess which team won? My team won! Then, we went back to our hotel to get change. When my friends went to our hotel, it was really cosy, it was almost like home. But surprisingly, there wasn't any electricity. Luckily, our teacher Ms Suzy, called someone to fix it! After a while, the guy came and fixed it, it only take about 5 seconds!

  After we get change, we went for dinner. Dinner was fantastic too! After we had dinner, we went back to the room that we met in the morning to have a fun quiz! At 10pm, we went back to our room and slept.
