isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

Today, we will learn about izilwane zasekhaya, which means domestic animals in isiZulu. These animals live with us in our homes and farms. Some examples include inja (dog), ikati (cat), and impuku (rabbit). We will also learn the sounds these animals make and how to describe them.

Let’s look at some examples of domestic animals and their sounds. For instance, the inja (dog) says 'bark', while the ikati (cat) says 'meow'. I will show you pictures of these animals, and we will practice saying their names and the sounds they make together.

Now, I will give you a worksheet with pictures of different domestic animals. Your task is to match each animal with the sound it makes. For example, draw a line from the picture of the inja to the word 'bark'. Let’s do the first one together before you try it on your own.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite domestic animal. Once you have finished your drawing, write its name in isiZulu next to it. You can also write down what sound it makes. After you are done, we will share our drawings with the class.
