It is the first day of the term and Mrs Clark's pupils are excited to be back at school.

On the closing day of last term, Mrs Clark gave the pupils a holiday assignment.

The pupils are excited to share their holiday experiences.

"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."

Kuda goes next. He draws what he enjoyed most from his holiday.

"It is a castle," says Johannes.

"It is a safari lodge," says Sibongile.

Kuda finishes his drawing. It is not a castle. It is not a safari lodge.

"This is the Great Zimbabwe," explains Kuda. "It was an important African city nearly 1000 years ago, in the Kingdom of Zimbabwe.

It was built from small stones, without any mortar!"

The bell rings for the pupils to go home.

Tomorrow, they will continue sharing their holiday experiences.
