isiNdebele First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 4

Today, we will learn about different animals in isiNdebele. We will look at pictures of animals and learn their names. For example, 'inja' means dog, 'ikati' means cat, and 'ibhubesi' means lion. I will show you pictures, and you will repeat the names after me. This will help you remember the words better.

Let’s look at this picture of a dog. What is the isiNdebele word for dog? Yes, it is 'inja'. Now, let’s make the sound a dog makes. (Bark!) Great! Now, let’s try with another animal. Here is a cat. What do we call it in isiNdebele? Correct, it is 'ikati'. Let’s meow like a cat together! (Meow!)

I will call out an animal name in isiNdebele, and you will make the sound that animal makes. For example, if I say 'ibhubesi', you will roar like a lion. If I say 'inyoni', you will flap your arms and chirp like a bird. This will help us remember the animals and their sounds while having fun together!

Now, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in isiNdebele. You can choose from the animals we learned today. Once you finish, you will share your drawing with the class and tell us the name of your animal in isiNdebele. This will help you practice speaking and sharing your ideas.
