Our 5th grade English coursebook introduces pancakes as part of the American breakfast (Unit 4, Lesson 2, p. 54), but they are also included in the English breakfast. After a discussion with the 5th grade learners at the Primary School of Sourpi regarding what an English breakfast includes, its nutritional value and its differences from the Greek breakfast, learners were invited to try the English breakfast at school!!! They had the opportunity to drink tea, have milk with cereals and enjoy delicious pancakes! As they have said, the English breakfast is quite enjoyable and the best part of it was the pancakes!!!

Today we ate cereals with milk, pancakes and we drank tea. I enjoyed the pancakes very much and the cereals with
milk. I didn’t like the tea very much! I ate half a pancake with honey and half with praline and I enjoyed more the one
with the honey!
