The weekend picnic I enjoyed most was a few weeks ago. My class decided to pay a visit to the Botanical garden.
It was a glorious Sunday. We assembled at the school gate punctually and traveled to the Botanical Garden by bus. It
was a long way to our destination and we sang merrily all the way.
The Botanical Garden is very beautiful place. We made a short tour round the garden and too some pictures of the

whole class. Then we played a lot of games on a spacious piece of grassland. One of the boys brought along his guitar and
we sang our favorite songs. We laughed, talked and danced, too. After a delicious meal with various kinds of food that we
brought, we all took a rest. Some of us slept very soundly because it was so peaceful and quiet there. In the afternoon, we
went on playing some more games. Then we packed up the left-over and started home at four. We all felt very happy.
