Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 3

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sesotho. We will look at pictures of animals and listen to their sounds. This will help us remember their names better. For example, 'ntja' means 'dog' and 'katse' means 'cat'. Let's practice saying these words together!

Let's look at some animals. When I show you a picture of a 'ntja', you will say 'ntja' and bark like a dog. When I show you a 'katse', you will say 'katse' and meow like a cat. This way, we connect the name of the animal with its sound, making it easier to remember.

Now, I will divide you into small groups. Each group will receive a set of animal pictures. Your task is to take turns naming the animals in Sesotho and making their sounds. For example, if you have a picture of a 'ntja', you will say 'ntja' and bark. This will help everyone learn and have fun together!

For your independent work, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho below the drawing. You can use crayons or colored pencils. Once you finish, share your drawing with a friend and tell them what animal it is in Sesotho. This will help reinforce what we learned today.
