Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 7

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sepedi. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names helps us talk about them. We will focus on common animals like 'ntja' (dog), 'katse' (cat), and 'kgoši' (lion). Let's listen to the sounds these animals make and learn their names together!

Let's look at some pictures of animals. For example, when we see a picture of a dog, we say 'ntja'. If we see a cat, we say 'katse'. I will show you a picture, and you will tell me the name in Sepedi. This helps us remember the names better!

Now, I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Sepedi. For instance, if I bark like a dog, you should respond with 'ntja'. Let's practice together! I will make the sound, and you will say the name. This will help you learn the names through fun sounds.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi below the drawing. You can choose any animal you like! Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and practice saying the names together.
