read the rest of the sentences and find words in red in the 
text to complete them.
The children do the exercise individually. Let them check

their answers in pairs before checking as a class.

5 Number the sentences in the correct order.
The children work individually to order the sentences 
• 
chronologically, using the text to help them. They may 
find it helpful to write the appropriate year next to each 
sentence, then use these to do the ordering. (The text 
gives dates for all the events mentioned, apart from the 
first one, which is the example.)
Let them check their answers in pairs, then check them 
• 
as a class by asking the children to read out the events 
in order. Ask them to say the year for each event, making 
sure they read the years correctly (e.g. 
nineteen twenty-
nine
).
