Yesterday at school, we went on a field trip to the Tom Graham skating arena. The time we were allowed to skate for was two hours. We entered the school at the normal time and then at around 9:20 we started walking to Richmond Green where the rink was.
When we got there I put on my skates and helmet then proceeded to help one of my friends put his helmet on since he was having trouble. When we got on the ice at 10:15 I just skated around with my friends. After a while, my ankle got a bit sore so I took my skates off and put them back on. I didn’t tie my skates very tight after, but it was close to the end of the trip so I just dealt with it. When we all finished skating I put my stuff on my bag and then met up with my friends near the front so we could leave.
Overall I think the trip was okay. There were a lot of people there so it was kind of hard not to hit people that are skating in the other direction as you even if you are skating in the direction that the majority of people are skating in. If we went on this trip again on my own time I probably wouldn’t go, but if it was for a school trip then I would go since I can talk with my friends.
