My food turned a somersault in my stomach as we wriggled over a bump.
Cautiously, we turned into a road and I spotted a massive building with the
words Ageas Bowl. I felt a sudden pang. We were here! A smile crept across my
face. In awe, we stepped out of the minibus gazing. Emily, who was our guide, lead
us into a colourful room with glistening light bulbs flashing, pictures on
walls along with facts and a huge television showing a trailer about the Ageas
Bowl. My head was brimming with different questions to ask Emily. My hand shot
up every time whilst a gap in my head was waiting to be filled with
information. After ending our task, we quietly tip toed through the café and up the steep steps until we reached
the court. Despite the fact that we had been before our jaws dropped at the
size of the cricket pitch. My eyes burst. A hand tapped me on the shoulder
telling me to keep up. Finally, we came to the net where we were going to play
a mixture of activities in groups of four. After that, we swapped guides;
instead we had an old cricket player who used to play on the ground. Although
he could see that we were bursting to ask questions we couldn’t ask any because
we wanted to get through the whole fun day without having to miss anything. I
sighed mournfully. We separated into groups and were told to sit down on a
rough mat running down to both edges of the tent whilst we politely listened to
him explaining our task.
Of course this was learning. However, this was fun learning and we enjoyed it. Excitedly, we rushed round to each of the activities laughing and chatting.
We were having a great day and it was all about to finish with a thank you to Emily and Chris for their kindness. Bubbling with excitement, we walked back into the minibus heading back to school, overflowing with knowledge to fill our parents. We had had a wonderful fun learning day out of school and were extremely happy when we returned.
