Today is Monday. It is Monday morning, and all the people in Lee’s family are sitting in the kitchen. They are having breakfast, and they are speaking about what the children will do at school today.

Today, in the afternoon, all the children in class three will go outside the school. They will go to see a farm. Their teacher will take them to see a farm because she wants them to know all about farms.

The teacher knows that there a lot of things to see and do on a farm. She thinks it will be very good for the children if they can see all the things there are on a farm.

The children will take their books, pens and pencils with them. They will write about what they see, and they will write about what the farm people speak about. After that, in the classroom, the children will write more about the farm. They will try to write about all the things they can remember.

Next, the teacher will look at the children’s books. She will look to see if their writing is correct or not. If the writing is correct, every boy and girl will read to all the other boys and girls in the class.

Why do you have to do that?
