My Recount of the trip to The Tower of London

By Michael Conroy

I went to the Tower of London with my class. I got there by a boring and smelly coach. It smelled like gum. I got sick when we were getting off the coach. I got sick again. I got sick four times in the same sick bag. Mrs. Marsh helped me.

First, I walked past a bakery that was called “Fish and Chips.” Next, I went into the Tower of London. Then I saw the Crown Jewels. The crown looked shiny. Then I saw some short movies in the Tower of London. Only one was about Queen Elizabeth. The next movie was about soldiers in red suits and black hats with one black gun in their hand. After that I went into one of the rooms. The room had Henry VIII’s knight clothes in it. They were golden. Then I ate lunch. Well I tried to do it in a building but we got caught so we had to go out of the room and sit next to a tree. I kept on sliding off of the bench. After lunch I went to the loo. It smelt like wee. Then I went to a workshop called “Fire, Fire, Fire.” It was about the Tower of London. Samuel Pepys looked out the window and saw the fire. He went back to sleep and gave no orders to the people. Then somebody woke him up and then she told him that nine buildings burnt down. Six people died in the fire of London. I saved a snack from lunch then ate it up whilst I was doing the “Fire, Fire, Fire” workshop. Finally, I went home. Whilst I was on the coach I ate an apple and I had a sick bag. When I ate the apple I didn’t get sick. Then I got off the coach. Then I waited for a little while next to the gate. I saw a ladybird in the green net. I tried to get it out but its head fell off. Then I waited for a little longer. Then I saw my mom. Then I walked home.

My favourite part was when I did the workshop because people did some acting and it was funny.
