It was Madaraka Day. Our class went on a trip to Meru National Park. Three teachers went with us.
In the Park, we saw a lion and an elephant. They were drinking water together.
1
We also saw a herd of zebras. They were racing towards a pond to drink water too.
We followed them slowly.
2
At the pond, we saw many animals together. There was a giraffe.
Giraffes are very tall animals.
"They eat leaves from tall trees," said Teacher Muthoni.
3
After lunch, we saw more animals. We found the oldest elephant in the Park. I discovered she is as old as my grand father! Grandfather is eighty years old.
It was getting dark, so we thanked the guards and began our journey back to school.
4
When we arrived, the sun was gradually disappearing behind the mountain.
That day we reached home very late. We were all very happy with the trip.
We had fun!.
