Exterior. M/S of a woman wearing a headscarf leading a procession of children down a woodland path, pan to show them entering a wooden hut. Panning shot of the group of scruffy looking children outside the hut, they all giggle at the camera.
Interior. M/S of a cramped classroom inside the hut, children of all ages work side by side. C/U of a man (the teacher) leaning over two boys working at a desk, the teacher shows one of the boys how to hold his pen properly.

C/U of the teacher sitting at a desk next to a little girl, the teacher writes on her slate and points to something behind the camera (the blackboard?), he passes the slate back to the girl and she begins to write. C/U of two boys writing. More shots of the group of children. More shots of the group of children walking through the woodland.
