The best part was the Teacup ride. William: I went on the giant slide. It is the biggest slide. It is great! James: My favourite ride was the Sizzler! It went around and around very fast! Oktavius: I went on the Jumping Castle which you jump on. Sometimes there is a slide. You have to take your shoes off. I went on with William who is in my class. It is very fun.
