Complete the text with the Past Simple form of the verbs in brackets.

The completed text is as follows: My young cousin, Ben, started school last year. There were fifteen children in his class. In the first lesson the teacher read a story. Then the children looked at some pictures and wrote the alphabet. After the lesson the children went into the playground. They wore their coats because it was cold. My cousin thought it was home time. He walked out of the playground and looked for his mum. My aunt did not be there, so he sat on the grass and waited for a bus. Luckily he did not have any money and the bus driver took him back to school. That evening his parents asked him, "Did you leave the playground this morning?" "Yes, I did. How do you know?" "Your teacher phoned us!"
