“Can you tell me what this is?” “Elephant!”

In one of my art lessons with Standard 1 (Year 1) at Nyota Ing’arayo, we
coloured elephant-shaped paper. The moment I showed the elephants to the kids,
all the little faces went crazy. Red, yellow, green and purple elephants soon
filled the class room.

“I finish” said one of the kids. I made his elephant stand on the table. He put
his arm around the elephant as if he was hugging it, with a huge smile on his
face. Even after the bell rung, more than half of the kids couldn’t stop
colouring.

“Class is over, we need to finish now.” Ten minutes later, after I repeated it
again and again, I gave up stopping them and had left couple of colour pencils
in the class room. After the break, a local teacher brought me the three colour
pencils which were used up to the point where they can’t colour anymore.
