Sepedi Home Language - Term 2 - Week 3

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sepedi. Animals are important in our lives, and knowing their names helps us communicate better. We will focus on common animals such as 'ngwana' (child), 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), and 'kgoši' (lion). Let's start by repeating these names together.

Let's look at some animals and their sounds. For example, the 'ntja' (dog) says 'woof', and the 'kat' (cat) says 'meow'. I will show you pictures of these animals, and you will tell me their names in Sepedi. This will help you remember their names and sounds.

Now, I will give you a worksheet with pictures of animals. Your task is to match each picture with the correct name in Sepedi. For example, if you see a picture of a 'kgoši' (lion), you will draw a line to the word 'kgoši'. I will walk around to help you if you need it.

For your independent practice, I want you to create simple sentences using the animal names we learned today. You can write sentences like 'Ke na le ntja' (I have a dog) or 'Kgoši e a go phala' (The lion is strong). Use your creativity and draw a picture of your favorite animal next to your sentence.
