Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sepedi. Animals are important in our lives and culture. We will focus on names of common animals such as 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), 'kgoši' (lion), 'nku' (sheep), and 'kuku' (chicken). Let's listen to how these words sound and practice saying them together.

Let's look at some pictures of animals. For example, when we see a picture of a 'ntja', we can say 'ntja' and make the barking sound 'woof woof'. Similarly, for 'kat', we say 'kat' and make the meowing sound 'meow'. This helps us remember the names of the animals better.

In groups, each student will take turns acting out an animal without speaking. The rest of the group will guess the animal in Sepedi. For instance, if a student pretends to be a 'kgoši', the others should say 'kgoši'. This activity will help reinforce the vocabulary we have learned.

Now, each student will draw their favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi underneath the drawing. For example, if a student draws a 'kuku', they will write 'kuku' below it. This will allow them to express their creativity while practicing their vocabulary.
