Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 4

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. For example, a dog is called 'ntja' in Sesotho, and it goes 'bark'. Let's explore more animals together!

Let's look at some examples. The cat is called 'katse' and it says 'meow'. The cow is 'khohlo' and it says 'moo'. We can practice saying these names together. I will show you a picture, and you will tell me the name in Sesotho. For instance, if I show you a picture of a lion, you will say 'tau'.

Now, we will play a matching game. I will show you a picture of an animal, and you will match it with the correct name in Sesotho. For example, if I show you a picture of a sheep, you will find the word 'khohlo'. Let's do this together, and I will help you if you need it!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho. You can use crayons or markers to make your drawing colorful. After you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names of our animals in Sesotho.
