Bouncy Castle


On Friday half of room 12 and room 11 went on to the  bouncy  castle.  We had to line up. I was feeling frustrated because it was taking so long. We waited for the little children to go to class. Finally it was our turn.  It was so fun. I was feeling excited.  The  children jumped up to the sky and then  they fell down.
