Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about different animals in Tshivenda. Animals are important in our lives and can be found in our homes, farms, and the wild. We will focus on how to say the names of these animals in Tshivenda. For example, 'mbwa' means dog, and 'ngwedi' means cat. Let's listen carefully and repeat after me!

I will show you pictures of different animals. As I show each picture, I will say the name of the animal in Tshivenda. For instance, when I show a picture of a cow, I will say 'ngwenda'. Then, I will ask you to repeat after me. This will help you remember the names of the animals.

Now, let's play a game! I will say the name of an animal in Tshivenda, and you will raise your hand if you can show me the correct picture. For example, if I say 'mbwa', you should find the picture of a dog. This will help us learn together and have fun while practicing our vocabulary.

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Tshivenda below the drawing. You can use the words we learned today. Once you finish, you can share your drawing with the class and tell us what animal it is in Tshivenda.
