Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 8

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 the sounds they make. For example, a 'ntja' is a dog, and it barks. Can anyone tell me what sound a cat makes? Yes, it meows! Let's explore more animals together.

Let's look at some pictures of animals. I will show you a picture of a 'kereke' (sheep). What do you think it is? Yes, it is a sheep! Now, let's say it together: 'kereke'. What sound does a sheep make? That's right, it bleats! Now, let's try with another animal, a 'pudi' (pig).

I will play some animal sounds, and you will guess which animal it is in Sesotho. For example, if I play a sound that goes 'meow', you should raise your hand and say 'kat' (cat). Let's practice together! I will play a sound, and you will respond with the correct animal name in Sesotho.

Now it's your turn! I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Sesotho underneath. You can use colors to make your drawing beautiful. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the animal names together.
