went for a school trip to Pune and Mahabaleshwar. We went
                                                  by Indigo Airlines. We were 42 students and 4 teachers in all.
                                                  I sat with my class mates, Poorna and Kisha, during the flight.
                                                  We
                                             I landed in Pune at 10:30 am. We went straight to visit the
                                             Pataleshwar Caves and then reached the hotel for lunch. After that, we
                                             all were very tired and that night we slept early as the next morning
                                             we had to leave for Mahabaleshwar. At the hotel, four children shared
                                             one room amongst them. The next morning, we left for Mahabaleshwar
                                             by bus. We sang songs in the bus. We ate our lunch when we reached
                                             Mahabaleshwar. The hotel was very nice. Every night, there was a
                                             magic show organized by the hotel for us. The next day, we visited
                                             the Mapro factory. We bought lots of jams, crushes and other such
                                             products for our family. We also went to the Pratapgarh Fort. We had
                                             to climb 450 stairs to reach the top of the fort. Our teachers took us
         Pune Trip                           to Parsi Point which is in Panchgani. The view was very beautiful. All
                                             the days during the trip were very eventful. Every night, we all enjoyed
                                             watching the IPL matches on the television.
                                                On the last day, we returned to Pune and took a flight back to
                                             Delhi. Our parents came to pick us from the airport. We were excited                                                                                         fter the first experience of our son,
                                             to meet our parents but sad as such a wonderful trip had got over.                                                                                           Jass’s P3 overnight school trip to
                                             Our teachers took very good care of us. I can never forget this trip as                                                                                      Agra, we were really looking forward
                                             I had the best time of my life with my friends. I wish I go for all trips                                                                          Ato the P4 three day trip to Pune. We
                                             organized by our school.                                                                                                                           knew this meant a lot of learning experience
