Setswana First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 4

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are important in our lives and culture. We will focus on names like 'ntšhu' (cat), 'pudi' (sheep), and 'nku' (goat). I will show you pictures of these animals, and we will say their names together. This will help you remember them better.

Let’s look at a picture of a dog. In Setswana, we call it 'ntša'. I will write this word on the board. Now, let’s repeat it together: 'ntša'. Can anyone tell me what sound a dog makes? Yes, it barks! Now, let’s do the same with a cat. This is a 'ntšhu'. Repeat after me: 'ntšhu'.

Now, we will play a matching game. I have cards with pictures of animals and cards with their names in Setswana. I will distribute the cards, and you will work in pairs to match the pictures with the correct names. Once you have matched them, we will go through the answers together as a class.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana underneath. Use the words we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class, and you can tell us what animal you drew and its name in Setswana.
