Hello everyone! We will be learning all aboutOur Summer Holidays.
This is our last week of online work for the year. Well done on the fantastic work you have done this year and I have enjoyed working with you all. Have a lovely summer and I am looking forward to seeing you all in September!
1. First, look at the picture above and discuss what you already know about summer. Have you been on a holiday before? Was it in Ireland or did you go on an aeroplane or boat? What kind of things do people do on their summer holidays?
