We took a field trip to a farm to learn all about . I didn’t think it would be
much fun because it was raining and cold. I was afraid that the rain would us,
since we would be outside almost all day.

To start, the farmer talked to us while we sat on upside-down buckets. I could

hear the rain falling on the barn’s tin roof. “Today will probably you all, since
you will be trying out a lot of the different jobs around the farm. You’ll plant seeds, spread
, collect eggs, clean stalls and maybe even milk a cow! Don’t make an
while you do that, though, or the cow might get upset and kick you!”

I had a from the smell of the barn already, but I didn’t want to get kicked by
a cow or myself, so I listened closely as the farmer gave us instructions. He
explained that he didn’t use too many because of the cost and how
they would . Since he didn’t have many machines, he
invited school classes to the farm to get all the work done!

He was right, it was an exhausting day, but it felt good working with the animals and
plants. It feels important to help produce food for people. I didn’t even notice the rain or

day, the family decided to go to Lekki Conservation Centre. Uncle Ted was surprised to see how
the city had changed.

"Wow! There are many skyscrapers and the streets are wider. Look at all these vehicles!"

They first stopped at the Freedom Park, which is a National Memorial Site,

as well as an Arts and recreation centre.

"Uncle, last year my friends and i came here with our teachers," Pixie Said. "Our teachers said
it used to be a prison during colonial era, and that notable Nigerians like Chief Obafemi Awolowo
was prisoner there.

"Yes, this is a part of our history," replied Uncle Ted.

After visiting the Freedom Park, they went to Foreshore Harbours to have launch, Uncle Ted was
delighted to find so many shops, restaurants, hotels, offices and cinemas. After lunch, Uncle Ted
bought some local crafts from the "Craft Market."

"Look uncle, there are many ships in the harbour!" Dixie shouted.

They admired the ships for a while. Then, they all went to the Race Course at the Tafawa Balewa
Square to watch horse races.

Pixie and Dixie were glad that their favourite horse had won the race. It was a wonderful day.
