An excursion to the Zoo

During our one week school holiday in September,  our school arranged for us to visit the Singapore Zoological Gardens on 5 September 2008. We all jumped for joy when Ms. Lim told us the good news. The sad thing was that we had to wake up early in the morning to report to school by 8a.m.
