Hello!! My name is Daniella S.

I have two grandmothers. I call one of them Gan or granny and the other one granny apple or gran. Granny apple has a big bowl of sweets and every time we go there we have two or three sweets and in the summer we sometimes go swimming because we don't have a pool and she lives on a big ground floor blocks of flats with a big pool. My other Gran lives in front of a golf course with many other houses around her and and the golf course. We go there on Sundays for lunch but not every Sunday.

Hi my name is Julia W

I have two grannies . I call my two grannies La-la and granny. My granny called La-la has only one eye because her eye operation went wrong. My other granny takes me shopping and she bakes cakes. Oh and they both live in Zimbabwe in the city of Harare which is a long way away. We have to visit them by aeroplane.

The way of saying grandmother in Afrikaans is Ouma (Ou as in obe, Ma as in Margaret)

The word for "grandmother" in Xhosa is umakhulu - pronounced "ooo maa koo lu"

The Zulu for GrandMom is Gogo, not as in "go for a walk" but as in the "o" in order.
