Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 2

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

I will show you pictures of different animals, and we will say their names in Sepedi together. For example, here is a picture of a dog. What do we call a dog in Sepedi? Yes, 'ntja'! Now, let’s look at a cat. What is the Sepedi word for cat? Correct, it's 'kat'. This way, we can learn to recognize and name animals in our language.

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', you should respond with 'ntja'. Let’s try another one! If I say 'meow', what is the animal in Sepedi? Yes, 'kat'! This activity will help us remember the names of animals 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 any animal we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names of our animals in Sepedi. This will help reinforce what we have learned.
