Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 7

Today, we will learn about different 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 such as 'ngwana' (child), 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), 'kgoši' (lion), and 'tshepe' (sheep). Let's listen to the sounds these animals make and learn their names together!

Let's look at some pictures of animals. I will show you a picture of a 'ntja' (dog). What sound does a dog make? Yes, it barks! Now, can anyone tell me the Sepedi word for cat? That's right, it's 'kat'. Let's repeat these words together and practice saying them out loud.

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 see how many animals we can name together! Remember to raise your hand before answering.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi. You can use crayons or colored pencils. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the animal's name in Sepedi. This will help us remember the words we learned today.
