Setswana First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are all around us, 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), 'kgetsi' (chicken), and 'naga' (lion). Let's start by repeating these names together.

I will show you pictures of different animals, and we will say their names in Setswana together. For example, when I show you a picture of a dog, we will say 'ntšhu'. Then, I will ask you to point to the picture of the cat and say 'katse'. This will help you remember the names and recognize them when you see the animals.

Now, let's play a fun game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is in Setswana. For instance, if I bark like a dog, you should respond with 'ntšhu'. After you guess, we will all say the animal's name together. This will help reinforce your memory of the vocabulary.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana below the picture. You can choose from the animals we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and practice saying the names together.
