Setswana First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 7

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 such as 'ntšhu' (dog), 'katse' (cat), and 'nku' (sheep). I will show you pictures of these animals, and we will repeat their names together. This will help you remember them better.

Let’s look at some pictures of animals. I will show you a picture of a 'ntšhu'. Can anyone tell me what this animal is called in Setswana? Yes, it is a 'ntšhu'. Now, let’s look at another picture of a 'katse'. Repeat after me: 'katse'. Great job! We will continue to practice these names together.

Now, we will play a matching game. I have cards with pictures of animals and cards with their names in Setswana. I will divide you into small groups. Each group will take turns picking a picture and finding the correct name. When you find a match, say the name of the animal out loud. This will help you remember the names while having fun!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Setswana below the drawing. You can use the names we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class, and you will tell us the name of your animal in Setswana. This will help you practice speaking and writing in Setswana.
