Setswana First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about different animals and the sounds they make. In Setswana, we have special names for these animals. For example, a 'dog' is called 'ntja' and it says 'bark' or 'bark' in English. We will also learn how to say other animals like 'cat' (kat) and 'cow' (kgogo). Let's listen to the sounds they make and repeat their names together.

Let's look at some pictures of animals. I will show you a picture of a 'ntja' (dog). What sound does a dog make? Yes, it barks! Now, let's look at a 'kat' (cat). What sound does a cat make? Correct, it meows! We will practice saying these names and sounds together as a class.

In groups, you will receive animal cards with pictures and names in Setswana. Each group will take turns showing their card to the class. When it's your turn, say the name of the animal and make the sound it makes. For example, if you have a 'kgogo' (cow), you will say 'kgogo' and then moo like a cow. This will help everyone learn the names and sounds together.

Now, it's your turn to be creative! Take a piece of paper and draw your favorite animal. Once you finish your drawing, write the name of the animal in Setswana underneath it. For example, if you draw a 'ntja', write 'ntja' below your picture. You can also try to write the sound it makes. After you finish, we will share our drawings with the class.
