Hello Friends! My name’s Jack.
I’m 12 years old and I live
in a small town in the south of
Britain with my mum, dad and
my sister, Emily.
Spring is here now and I’m very happy
because of it. But now, I would like to tell you what we do in Britain at
Easter.
Easter is in spring and people
celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter starts on Good Friday in
Britain. My mum makes hot cross buns and we eat them for tea. We usually have
Easter-projects at school. Last year we made colourful hats, called Easter
bonnets. This year we are going to design a basket full of painted Easter eggs.
It will be a great fun!
On Easter Sunday morning we have a big
breakfast. After breakfast, we all go to church. When we get home, we give each
other chocolate eggs. (Kids get the biggest ones!) Then we play ‘Easter egg
hunt”. My parents hide some Easter eggs in the garden and Emily and I look for
them. We love playing it.
We have roasted lamb with veggies for
lunch.
In the afternoon my cousins, aunts, and
uncles come over for tea. We have Easter cupcakes, cakes, and delicious tea.
After tea, we usually go for a walk together.
I like Easter because it is a great
family festival and there is no school for two weeks!:)
