Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 9

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), 'kgoši' (lion), 'pudi' (pig), and 'nku' (sheep). As we learn, we will also discuss where these animals live and what sounds they make.

Let’s practice the names of the animals we learned. I will say the name of an animal in Sepedi, and you will respond with the sound that animal makes. For example, if I say 'ntja', you will bark like a dog. This helps us remember the names better and understand how animals communicate.

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'. This activity will help reinforce your vocabulary and recognition skills.

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 that animal likes to do. For example, 'Ntja e rata go tshega' (The dog likes to bark). This will help you use the vocabulary in a creative way.
