Easter
Class Book pp.98–99
Children in the UK have two weeks of holidays at Easter.
Typical things to do during the Easter holidays include
visiting botanical gardens, or walking in the woods and
parks to see the beautiful spring flowers. Many families like
to visit a farm or ‘petting zoo’ to see all the new baby animals
that arrive in spring. Children are allowed to hold baby
animals like rabbits, ducklings and chicks, and often, they
are allowed to feed lambs with a baby bottle full of milk!
The highlight of the Easter holidays for children is, of course,
Easter Sunday. Many primary-age children have an egg hunt
in their gardens. Typically, small chocolate eggs are wrapped
in colourful foil and children race around the garden with
their baskets, trying to collect as many as possible. Families
often get together for lunch on Easter Sunday, but the best
part for children is eating their chocolate eggs, bunnies,
chicks and sweets.
