"Welcome back to school, everyone," says Mrs. Clark with a big smile. Mrs. Clark asked each pupil to draw what they enjoyed most during the holiday.
Johannes goes first. He draws what he enjoyed most from his holiday.
"They are triangles," says Lydia. "They are huts," says Andile.
Johannes finishes drawing. They are not triangles. They are not huts.
"These are pyramids," explains Johannes. "Pyramids are the tombs used for Egyptian kings. My family visited Egypt."
Sibongile goes next. She draws what she enjoyed most from her holiday.
"They are cows," says Suren.
"They are buffaloes," says Mthobisi.
Sibongile finishes drawing. They are not cows. They are not buffaloes.
"These are wildebeests," explains Sibongile. "Every year, thousands of wildebeests migrate from Kenya to Tanzania. My family visited Kenya."
Marilize goes next. She is Johannes' sister.
"She will draw pyramids," says Jane.
"She will draw Egyptian kings," says Kuda.
Marilize finishes drawing. They are not pyramids. They are not Egyptian kings.
"These are hieroglyphics," says Marilize. "This is the writing used by Egyptian people a very long time ago. We saw hieroglyphics written in the tomb of King Tutankhamun."
