Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 10

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), 'nku' (sheep), 'kgoši' (lion), and 'pudi' (pig). As we learn, we will also talk about what these animals look like and where they live.

Let’s look at some pictures of animals. For example, here is a picture of a 'ntja' (dog). Can anyone tell me what sound a dog makes? Yes, it barks! Now, let’s look at a 'kat' (cat). What sound does a cat make? Correct, it meows! This helps us remember the names of the animals and their sounds in Sepedi.

I will show you pictures of different animals, and I want you to say the name of the animal in Sepedi. After that, we will make the sounds together. For example, I will show you a picture of a 'kgoši' (lion), and we will all roar like lions! This will help you remember the names and sounds of the animals.

Now, it’s your turn! I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi underneath. You can choose from the animals we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names of our animals in Sepedi.
