Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about different animals in Sesotho. We will focus on common animals such as 'ntja' (dog), 'katse' (cat), 'khohlo' (elephant), 'pudi' (sheep), and 'nku' (goat). I will say each animal name, and you will repeat after me. This will help you remember how to say them correctly.

Let's look at some pictures of animals. For example, here is a picture of a dog. In Sesotho, we call it 'ntja'. Now, I will show you a picture of a cat. What do we call it in Sesotho? That's right, 'katse'! Let's practice saying these names together as a class.

Now, we will play a matching game. I will show you pictures of animals, and you will match them with the correct Sesotho names on the board. For example, if I show you a picture of an elephant, you will find the word 'khohlo' and place it next to the picture. This will help reinforce your learning and make it fun!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho underneath. Use the words we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class, and you can practice saying the names out loud.
