isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 4

Today, we will learn about izilwane (animals) that we can find at home. We will focus on animals like 'inja' (dog), 'ikati' (cat), and 'inyoni' (bird). I will show you pictures of these animals and we will say their names together in isiZulu. Remember to pay attention to how we pronounce each word.

Let’s look at a picture of an inja (dog). I will ask you, 'Yini le?' (What is this?). You will respond, 'Inja!' Then, we will repeat the word together. Next, we will do the same with ikati (cat) and inyoni (bird). This will help you remember the names of these animals.

Now, let’s work in groups. Each group will receive pictures of different animals. You will take turns to show your picture to the class and say the name of the animal in isiZulu. For example, if you have a picture of an ikati, you will say, 'Nansi ikati!' (Here is a cat!). This will help everyone learn and practice the vocabulary.

For your independent activity, I want you to draw your favorite animal that you can find at home. After you finish your drawing, write the name of the animal in isiZulu below it. You can use words like 'inja', 'ikati', or 'inyoni'. Once you are done, we will share our drawings with the class.
