Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about animals in Sepedi. Animals are important in our lives, and knowing their names in our language helps us communicate better. We will focus on common animals like 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), 'nku' (sheep), 'kgoši' (lion), and 'pula' (rain). Let's start by repeating these words together.

Let's practice the sounds that these animals make. For example, a 'ntja' (dog) says 'bark', and a 'kat' (cat) says 'meow'. I will say the animal name in Sepedi, and you will tell me the sound it makes. This will help you remember the names better.

Now, we will play a game called Animal Charades. I will divide you into small groups. Each group will choose an animal from our list and act it out without speaking. The other groups will guess the animal in Sepedi. This will help you learn to recognize and remember the names of animals while having fun!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi below the drawing. You can use the words we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class, and you will tell us the animal's name in Sepedi.
