Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 2

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sesotho. We will focus on words like 'ntja' (dog), 'katse' (cat), 'khohlo' (sheep), 'pudi' (cow), and 'nku' (goat). I will show you pictures of these animals, and we will say their names together. This will help you remember the words better.

Let’s practice the sounds that these animals make. For example, a 'ntja' barks, and a 'katse' meows. I will make the sound, and you will guess which animal it is. Then, we will act out the animals. This will help you connect the words with the actions and sounds.

Now, we will play a game of charades. I will divide you into small groups. Each group will choose an animal and act it out without speaking. The other groups will guess which animal it is by saying the name in Sesotho. This will help you learn to recognize and use the vocabulary in a fun way.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho underneath. You can use the words we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names of the animals together.
