Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sesotho. Animals are important in our lives, and knowing their names helps us communicate better. We will look at pictures of animals and practice saying their names together. For example, the word for 'dog' in Sesotho is 'ntja'.

Let's look at some common animals. For instance, the cow is called 'khohlo' in Sesotho, and it makes a sound like 'moo'. The cat is 'katse' and it says 'meow'. As we go through the pictures, I will show you how to pronounce each name correctly. Repeat after me to practice your pronunciation.

Now, let's play a game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is. For example, if I say 'moo', you should respond with 'khohlo'. After guessing, we will all say the name of the animal together in Sesotho. This will help you remember the names and sounds better.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal. Once you finish your drawing, write the name of the animal in Sesotho below it. You can use the words we learned today. After you are done, we will have a sharing session where you can present your drawing and say the name of your animal in Sesotho.
