Oh! I didn't know you two were coming with Zo.
Aunty, we have important work to do
we need to plan a trip for our class.
We're going to the Thanni reservoir!
That sounds exciting.
I'll get you all some snacks and tea while you work.
Thank you, Aunty.
Okay, let's discuss the trip?
Hmm. Let's make a list of things we need to think about.
I'll write everything down so we remember.
Transport and food.
Games! Permission slips.
Okay, I've written these points down.
Now, let's take them one by one.
First, let's look at transport.
We have 45 students in our class.
So, the total number of people will be 47
including Fela Sir and one more teacher.
Then, we should take the local bus. Fela Sir can help us out with that.
How long does it take to go to the reservoir from Chotapur?
My brother said that it takes about an hour and a half
to reach the closest bus stop.
And then we have to walk for about fifteen minutes.
So we can take the 7.30 bus in the morning to reach the reservoir by 9.
We can spend the day there and take the 3.30 bus back to Chotapur.
We should get back by 5 pm.
Yes, that works well. But what shall we do for food?
Speaking of food, here are some snacks for all of you. And tea too.
Thank you Aunty. Thanks Grandma.
For food, can we ask different people to bring different things?
Good idea. Let's ask everyone in class to bring a little extra for all of us to share.
And what games shall we play there?
Seven stones!
Oh! I love seven stones!
I'm sure we'll be able to find stones there. I'll bring the ball.
Zo, you have to bring your compass box too.
Compass box? Why?
To use it like a badminton racket along with a paper ball for a shuttlecock!
It's been a long time since we played that game! It's so much fun!
I will. Oh! And we mustn't forget
to tell everyone to get their permission slips signed
and wear their school uniforms on that day!
What about the ticket cost to enter the reservoir!
Oh no! We completely forgot about that!
Oh! They don't charge students.
So only the teachers will have to pay the entry fee.
Oh...that's wonderful! One less thing for us to plan!
I've got it all written down.
I can't wait to tell Fela Sir and see what he says!
