Yesterday, our class went to the park for a school challenge. We took a map, some pencils, and a small bag. First, we saw a clue under a tree. Then Leo found a silver key near the lake.
“I have seen this key before,” said Mia. “It was in a story from our English book!”
We ate our sandwiches and drank water near the lake. After lunch, Mia wrote the next clue in her notebook, but then we lost the map.
Luckily, Tom had taken a photo of it on his phone. We came back to school tired but happy. Our teacher said:
“You have made a great team today!” 🎉
