Last weekend, our class went to Ba Vi for a two-day
camping holiday.
The bus left the school at 5a.m. When we arrived at the campsite, first we put up the umbrella tent, next we went round to watch wildlife in the forest. Some went fishing and swimming in the lake, then we went back to our tent and prepared lunch, we cooked our favourite food over an open fire. In the evening we sang and danced around the campfire. The next day we played games and we left the campsite at 4 p.m.
Although the trip made us tired, we felt very happy because we had a good time to live together.
