isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about izilwane (animals) that we can find at home. These include our pets and other animals that might live near us. We will focus on words like 'inja' (dog), 'kati' (cat), 'inkukhu' (chicken), 'imvu' (sheep), and 'ingulube' (pig). Let's listen carefully as I say each word and show you pictures of these animals.

I will show you a picture of a dog. What is this animal called in isiZulu? Yes, it is 'inja'. Now, let's look at a cat. What do we call a cat in isiZulu? Correct, it is 'kati'. We will repeat these words together, and I will ask you to point to the pictures when I say the names.

Now, let's have some fun! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in isiZulu. For example, if I say 'woof', you will say 'inja'. After we guess, we will all say the name of the animal together. This will help us remember the words better!

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal that you might find at home. Once you finish your drawing, label it in isiZulu. For example, if you draw a cat, write 'kati' next to it. We will share our drawings with the class and say the names of our animals in isiZulu.
