Setswana First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 3

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are important in our lives, and knowing their names in our language helps us communicate better. We will focus on common animals such as 'ntšhu' (dog), 'katse' (cat), 'nku' (sheep), 'pudi' (cow), and 'kgoši' (lion). Let's start by repeating these words together.

I will show you pictures of different animals. When I show you a picture of a 'katse', I want you to say 'katse' loudly. Let's practice with the pictures. Look at this picture of a 'ntšhu'. What is it? Yes, it's a 'ntšhu'! Now, let's try with the next one.

Now, I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Setswana. For example, if I say 'woof woof', you should respond with 'ntšhu'. Let's do this together! I will make the sound, and you will tell me the animal name in Setswana. This will help you remember the names better.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana next to it. Use the words we learned today. Once you finish, you can share your drawing with the class and tell us the name of your animal in Setswana. This will help you practice both writing and speaking.
