Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 4

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sesotho. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names helps us talk about them. We will focus on five common animals: 'ntja' (fish), 'khohlo' (cat), 'ntja e kholo' (dog), 'pudi' (sheep), and 'konyana' (rabbit). Let's start by repeating these names together!

I have prepared flashcards with pictures of the animals we are learning today. For example, here is a flashcard of a 'khohlo' (cat). When I show you the card, I want you to say the name of the animal in Sesotho. This will help you remember their names better. Let's practice with all the flashcards together!

Now, let's play a game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Sesotho. For example, if I say 'meow', you should respond with 'khohlo'. This will help you connect the sounds with the names in Sesotho. Let's take turns and have fun!

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho next to your drawing. You can choose from the animals we learned today or any other animal you like. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and practice saying the names together.
