                                                             Report on Friday's field trip

On Friday we went to the Bluffers park. I met my friends on the ground floor of the school and Luna drove us to the park. Luna is very good driver we felt us very comfortable in her car. Bluffers park was beautiful there are wonderful view on Ontario lake. We saw some boats and  jet skies. I noticed  many fishes in the water. We strolled in the park and  made a pictures together. After that we had a very fanny game. We plaid soccer together. After physical exercises we had a potluck. Each brought some food. All dishes were testy. At the end some of us went to the beach. It was very near to park. The lake looked fantastic, send was very hot but water was cold. Despite this, there were many people who swimming. Children plaid with send under the hot sun. It was a very good filed trip. We had a lot of conversation and enjoyed the time in good company. I think we have to discover new places and organize that kind of trips again and again.
