Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sepedi. Animals are important in our lives, and knowing their names helps us communicate better. We will focus on common animals like 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), 'nku' (sheep), 'kgomo' (cow), and 'naga' (snake). Let's start by listening to the names and repeating them together.

I will show you pictures of animals, and we will say their names in Sepedi. For example, here is a picture of a dog. What do we call a dog in Sepedi? Yes, 'ntja'! Now, let’s look at the next picture. This is a cat. Can anyone tell me what a cat is in Sepedi? That's right, 'kat'! We will continue this with all the animals on our list.

Now, let’s 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 'woof woof', you should respond with 'ntja'. Let’s try another one: 'meow'. What is that in Sepedi? Yes, 'kat'! This activity will help us remember the names better.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi next to it. You can choose from the animals we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names together. This will help us practice our writing and speaking skills.
