Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 6

Today, we will learn some new words in Sesotho. We will focus on everyday objects such as 'tšela' (cup), 'libuka' (books), and 'sejana' (plate). I will show you pictures of these objects, and we will say their names together. This will help you remember the words better.

Let’s practice making sentences. For example, if we have the word 'tšela', we can say 'Ke na le tšela' which means 'I have a cup'. I will write this sentence on the board and we will read it together. Then, I will ask you to think of other objects and create sentences using 'Ke na le...'.

Now, let’s work in groups. Each group will receive a set of pictures of objects. I want you to choose one picture and create a sentence using the vocabulary we learned. For example, if you choose 'libuka', you can say 'Ke na le libuka'. After you create your sentence, each group will share it with the class.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite object and write a sentence about it in Sesotho. You can use the sentence structure 'Ke na le...' to describe your drawing. Once you finish, we will display your work on the classroom wall.
