Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sepedi. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names in our language helps us communicate better. We will look at pictures of animals and learn their names, such as 'ntja' for dog, 'kat' for cat, and 'kgoši' for lion.

Let's look at some pictures together. Here is a picture of a dog. In Sepedi, we say 'ntja'. Can anyone tell me what sound a dog makes? Yes, it barks! Now, let's look at a cat. This is a 'kat'. What sound does a cat make? That's right, it meows! We will repeat these names together to remember them.

Now, we will play a game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Sepedi. For example, if I say 'meow', you should respond with 'kat'. Let's try it together! I will make the sound, and you will shout out the name in Sepedi. This will help us remember the names and sounds of the animals.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi next to it. You can use crayons or markers to make your drawing colorful. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the animal's name in Sepedi. This will help us practice what we learned today.
