My Easter holidays,

by Usoa Sol

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

This is what I did with my Year 5 primary group to work on past simple and talk about past holidays.

They had to put some pictures in order from my Easter holidays. Then listen to a dialogue, practise it and try to remember it. And finally, they recorded their own dialogues based on the one I had recorded previously.

Students had a great time and I did too!

On my last Easter holidays I went to…

LONDON!

These are my holiday

pictures.

Can you put them in order?
