Firefly Fieldtrip ~ 6B

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about the 6B field trip to Kuala Selangor. For the assignment I had to choose one topic, and I chose: "Write about a favorite part of the field trip. Describe the event so the reader can visualize it." What we did in the field trip is go on a firefly tour in the evening, and the next day plant mangroves. And my favorite activity was the firefly tour...






It started of when we were ready for the tour and we were waiting for the bus to arrive. When the bus finally came we stepped in and we had a lot of fun. Me and some friends were actually telling people scary stories, because it was dark in the bus, only lit by a few lights. When we arrived to the lake, we stepped out and heard that we should not make a sound when we were on the boat. When it was my group's turn we got a life jacket, and we stepped on the boat.
Then we went of, into the dark... Until, I saw a bush with flashing small lights. It were the fireflies. At first I didn't know that those were the fireflies, but when we came closer, I could actually see that there behind was flashing! We came past several bushes full with fireflies, and I even caught one and it sat in my hand. It felt funny when it sat on my hand because it felt like it was softly tickling me.

I really liked the whole trip, but the firefly place was the most fun! I'm happy I went on the trip! (although there was an ANT INVASION in the bathrooms.....)
