My First 2D1N Field Trip!

On February 27, 2025, my school organized a field trip for all students after we finished our quiz papers. It was a 2-day, 1-night trip to a water park and a beautiful lake. We had to be at school by 7:00 AM so that the teachers could take attendance and check our bags before we boarded the bus. I felt nervous because it was my first time going on a trip without my family, but I was also excited to explore new places and experience new things.

We started our journey at 7:30 AM after settling in and collecting our phones from the teachers. Everyone enjoyed chatting with friends on the bus as we made our way to our destination. After a few hours, we stopped at a gas station to buy some snacks and get ready for the day’s activities. A staff member guided us to the eating area, where we had a delicious meal of fried rice with fried chicken and sauce, along with jelly and water to keep us hydrated. After eating, we changed into our swimsuits and got ready for the fun! My friends and I explored different attractions at the water park, which had exciting rides, pools, and beautiful natural surroundings.

We had an amazing time playing together, and our teachers took plenty of photos to capture the memories. One of the best parts of the water park was visiting the animal area, where we got to see and take pictures with different animals. There was also a forested area with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. By 4:30 PM, it was time to pack up and leave. We dried off, changed into our clothes, and took a group photo before heading to our next destination.

After the water park, we traveled by bus to an apartment where we would stay for the night. We were divided into four groups, and I was placed in the girls’ group, supervised by Ms. Sharan. After unpacking, we quickly gathered at the lobby and took the bus to a fast-food restaurant for dinner. Once we finished eating, we returned to the apartment to settle down and get some rest.

On February 28, we woke up at 6:00 AM to shower and pack our bags before heading to the lobby. Once everyone was ready, we boarded the bus and went to another fast-food restaurant for breakfast. Before leaving, the staff surprised us with small gifts, which made us feel really happy and appreciated.

Our final stop was a beautiful lake, known for its peaceful surroundings and stunning scenery. My friends and I took a boat ride, passing through a quiet, spacious cave before reaching the calm, green water surrounded by high cliffs. Ms. Shla took pictures with us, and we enjoyed the moment together. After exploring the lake, it was time to return to school.

The trip was an unforgettable experience. Even though I was nervous at first, I had a fantastic time with my friends and teachers. I enjoyed every moment of the adventure and hope to go on another exciting school trip next term! A big thank you to all the Wembley teachers and the teachers who accompanied us on this trip. We felt safe, and you assisted all of us with everything we needed. Your guidance and care made this trip even more enjoyable!
