Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about different animals and how to say their names in Sesotho. We will look at pictures of animals and practice saying their names together. For example, a 'ntja' is a dog, and a 'katse' is a cat. We will also listen to the sounds these animals make and match them to their names.

Let's look at some examples. When I say 'ntja', you will hear the sound 'woof'. Can you repeat after me? Now, let's try with 'katse'. The sound is 'meow'. Repeat after me again. This helps us remember the names of the animals better when we associate them with their sounds.

Now, let's work together! I will show you pictures of different animals, and I want you to tell me their names in Sesotho. For each animal, I will make the sound, and you will guess which animal it is. For example, if I say 'woof', you should say 'ntja'. Let's do this as a class, and then we will break into small groups to practice more.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho underneath. You can use the words we learned today. Once you finish, you will share your drawing with the class and tell us the animal's name and sound. This will help you remember the words better!
