Setswana First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 7

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. We will look at pictures of animals and learn their names. For example, 'ntšhu' means 'dog', and 'katse' means 'cat'. We will also listen to the sounds these animals make, such as 'bark' for dogs and 'meow' for cats.

Let’s look at some animals and their sounds. When I say 'ntšhu', you will respond with 'bark'. When I say 'katse', you will say 'meow'. This will help you remember the names and sounds of these animals. Let's practice together: 'ntšhu' - 'bark', 'katse' - 'meow'.

Now, I will show you pictures of different animals. When you see a picture, shout out the name of the animal in Setswana. For example, if I show you a picture of a cow, you will say 'kgogo'. After that, we will make the sound of the animal together. This will help reinforce your learning and make it fun!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal. Once you finish your drawing, write a simple sentence in Setswana about your animal. For example, if you draw a dog, you can write 'ntšhu e a borai' which means 'the dog is barking'. Share your drawing and sentence with a partner.
