Setswana First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 3

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names in our language is important. We will focus on common animals such as 'ntšhu' (dog), 'katse' (cat), 'nku' (sheep), 'kgoši' (lion), and 'pula' (rain). Let's start by repeating these words together.

I will show you pictures of different animals, and we will say their names in Setswana. For example, when I show you a picture of a dog, we will all say 'ntšhu'. This helps us remember the names better. Let's practice with a few more pictures and say the names together.

Now, we will play a matching game. I will give you cards with pictures of animals and cards with their names in Setswana. Your task is to match the picture with the correct name. Work in pairs and help each other. Once you finish, we will go through the matches together and correct any mistakes.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana underneath. Use your creativity! Once you finish, we will have a mini-gallery where you can share your drawings with the class and tell us the name of your animal in Setswana.
