Setswana First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are important in our lives and culture. We will focus on names of common animals like 'ntšhu' (dog), 'katse' (cat), 'kgetsi' (goat), 'nku' (sheep), and 'tlhapi' (fish). Let's say these words together and learn how to use them in sentences.

Let's practice the sounds that these animals make. For example, the 'ntšhu' barks, and the 'katse' meows. I will make the sound, and you will guess which animal it is. After that, we can act out the animals. Who can show me how a 'nku' moves? Great job! This helps us remember the names better.

Now, I will show you some pictures of animals. I want you to match the pictures with the correct Setswana names. For example, if I show you a picture of a 'katse', you will point to the word 'katse' on the board. Let's do this together, and I will help you if you need it.

For your independent work, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana underneath. You can choose any animal we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and say the names together. This will help us remember the words even better!
