Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sepedi. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names in our language helps us communicate better. We will focus on common animals like 'ngwana' (child), 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), 'kgoši' (lion), and 'nku' (sheep). Let's start by listening to the sounds these animals make and then learn their names in Sepedi.

Let's look at some examples together. When I say 'ntja', you will hear the sound a dog makes: 'woof woof'. Now, repeat after me: 'ntja'. Great! Now, let's try another one. The sound of a cat is 'meow', and in Sepedi, we say 'kat'. Repeat: 'kat'. Excellent work!

Now, I will show you pictures of different animals. When you see the picture, I want you to shout out the name of the animal in Sepedi. For example, if I show you a picture of a lion, you will say 'kgoši'. Let's practice together. Look at this picture of a sheep. What do we call it in Sepedi? Yes, 'nku'! Well done!

For your independent practice, you will receive a worksheet with pictures of animals and their names in Sepedi. Your task is to match the pictures with the correct names. Once you finish, you can color the pictures. This will help you remember the names better. Don't forget to say the names out loud as you work!
