Mr Park’s class visit a castle

Paul’s class at school are studying castles in history. So last week their history
teacher, Mr Park, took them to visit an old castle on a hill next to the sea. They went
by bus and stopped at the bottom of the hill.

Mr Park pointed to the castle at the top of the hill and said, ‘There is no road up there
so we have to walk.’

The children were tired and thirsty when they arrived at the castle. But Mr Park had
juice for all of them. It was very interesting because Mr Park showed them all the
different parts of the castle and explained its history.

On the way down the hill, Paul’s friends said, ‘Let’s have a race.’ So Paul and his
friends started to run.

‘Stop running!’ shouted Mr Park. But the boys ran faster and faster and then Paul fell
over and hurt his leg. It wasn’t broken, but he couldn’t walk very well.

Mr Park saw a farmer on his horse in a field. He went to speak to him and the farmer
let Paul ride his big brown horse down the hill to the bus.

‘Sorry we didn’t listen to you on the hill,’ Paul said to Mr Park, ‘but we listened in the
castle. It was great! Can we come again?’

Maria's starts school

My name is Pedro and my sister's name is Maria. Monday was the first day of school
after the holidays, so we got up at seven o'clock. We put our new books into our
school bags and I had breakfast. Maria couldn't eat any food because she was
worried about starting school. I said, 'Don't be afraid, Maria, you will like going to
school.' Maria smiled and held my hand.

The bus came early so we had to run to catch it. On the bus, we sat down and put
our school bags on the floor. The bus started suddenly, and everything fell out of our

2
school bags! There was a woman behind us, and she picked up one of our books.
She read Maria's name on the front of it and then she smiled. She said, 'Hello, Maria,
I'm your new teacher. My name's Mrs Lester.' We were very surprised. Mrs Lester
asked some more questions, and then in a few minutes, we arrived at school. Mrs
Lester said. 'I'll see you in class, Maria,' and Maria smiled a big smile. I asked Maria,
'Are you feeling worried now?' and she laughed and said, ' No! But there's just one
problem - I'm hungry~ Where's the school snack shop?'

I think that Maria will be happy at our school.

 William's Backpack

My name is Pedro and my sister's name is Maria. Last Saturday, we went to London
by train with our parents. My mum said it was easier to take the train than the car.
Our cousin William came to London too, but he went by bus so we met him at
Liverpool Street Station. He had a heavy backpack with him. 'I can carry your
backpack, William,' Dad said. 'No, thanks, I can manage,' William said.

We went to the Science Museum first. I asked Dad lots of questions but he didn't
know the answers. William took a book about science out of his backpack. 'Here you
are!' he said to Dad. 'Thanks, William,' said Dad.

When we left the museum, it was very sunny. 'It's OK,' said William. 'I've got some
suncream in my backpack.'

We went to McDonald's for lunch. My sister made a mess of her food on the table.
William gave her a tissue from his backpack. 'Have this,' he said.

In the afternoon, we wanted to go to a famous toy shop but we couldn't find it.
William took a map of London out of his backpack and we soon found the street
where the shop was.

After the toy shop, William wanted to get a keyring, but he didn't have any money in
his pocket. 'Look for it in your backpack!' we all said.

Josh's School Trip

Last week, Josh went on a school trip to a very old town in the mountains. It was
famous because a long time ago people lived in caves there. When Josh and his
classmates arrived at their hotel, they found some of the caves in their room. They
looked very interesting and the next morning they got up early to go and visit them.

When they went inside the first cave, Josh was unhappy because it was very dark
inside. But after a few minutes, he could see the old rock walls, but he was
disappointed as there was not much to see.

Suddenly, Josh heard something above his head. He looked up and saw hundreds of
bats. 'Mrs Daniel! There are bats in this cave,' he whispered to his teacher.

'Yes, bats like living in caves,' his teacher answered. 'It's OK. They won't hurt you.
Come and look at this,' Josh's teacher took a torch out of her backpack and pointed

5
it at one of the walls. There were some beautiful paintings of the people and animals
that lived there thousands of years ago.

'Amazing!' said Josh. "Would you like to live in a cave, Mrs Daniel,' asked Josh.
'No!' she laughed. 'I don't want to love in a cold, dark place like this,' she said. 'Come
on! Let's head back to the hotel to draw some pictures of the cave paintings.'
