Sepedi Home Language - Term 1 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about different animals and the sounds they make. Animals are an important part of our world, and knowing their names in Sepedi helps us communicate better. We will look at pictures of animals and practice saying their names together.

Let’s look at some examples. The word for 'dog' in Sepedi is 'ntja', and it makes the sound 'bark'. The word for 'cat' is 'kgetsi', and it makes the sound 'meow'. We will repeat these words and sounds together to help us remember them.

Now, let’s play a game! I will show you a picture of an animal, and you will tell me its name in Sepedi and make the sound it makes. For example, if I show you a cow, you will say 'kgomo' and moo like a cow. Let’s do this together as a class!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal. Once you finish your drawing, write its name in Sepedi below the picture. You can also write the sound it makes. Afterward, we will share our drawings with the class.
