Read about a school trip:

Last Friday, our class went on a school trip to the Natural Science Museum. We left school at 9 o'clock and took the bus to the city centre. When we got there, we saw many interesting things. First, we went to the dinosaur room. I saw a huge T-Rex skeleton! Then we ate lunch in the museum café. I had a sándwich and some juice. My friend Carlos bought a book about animals in the gift shop. In the afternoon, we met a scientist who told us about fossils. She showed us some real fossils that were millions of years old! We left the museum at 4 o'clock and came back to school by bus. I was very tired but I had a fantastic day. I wrote about it in my diary that night.
