Sepedi Home Language - Term 3 - Week 4

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sepedi. We will focus on common animals such as 'ngwana' (child), 'ntja' (dog), 'kat' (cat), and 'kgoši' (lion). I will show you pictures of these animals and say their names in Sepedi. You will repeat after me to practice pronunciation.

Let’s look at some pictures of animals. For example, here is a picture of a dog. In Sepedi, we say 'ntja'. Can anyone tell me what sound a dog makes? Yes, it barks! Now, let’s look at a cat. In Sepedi, we say 'kat'. What sound does a cat make? Correct, it meows! We will continue with more animals and their sounds.

Now, we will play a game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Sepedi. For example, if I say 'meow', you will say 'kat'. Let’s try it together! I will make the sound, and you will respond with the name in Sepedi. This will help you remember the names better.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sepedi next to your drawing. You can use crayons or colored pencils to make your drawing colorful. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class, and you will tell us the name of your animal in Sepedi.
