Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sepedi. Animals are an important part of our world, and knowing their names helps us talk about them. We will focus on some common animals like 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), and 'nku' (sheep). Let's listen to how these words sound and practice saying them together.

Let's create sentences using the animal names we learned. For example, 'Ntja e a bapala' means 'The dog is playing.' I will say a sentence, and you will repeat after me. We can also draw pictures of these animals and label them with their names in Sepedi.

Now, we will play a matching game. I will show you pictures of animals, and you will match them with their names in Sepedi. For example, if I show you a picture of a cat, you will find the word 'kat' and place it next to the picture. This will help you remember the names better.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi underneath. You can also write a sentence about what your animal does, like 'Nku e a ja' (The sheep is eating). Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class.
