Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 8

Today, we will learn about different animals in Tshivenda. Animals are important in our lives and culture. We will look at pictures of various animals and learn their names in Tshivenda. For example, 'ndou' means elephant, and 'mbwa' means dog. We will also discuss where these animals live and what sounds they make.

Let's look at this picture of a lion. In Tshivenda, we say 'ngwedi'. Can anyone tell me what sound a lion makes? Yes, it roars! Now, let's look at another animal, the cat. In Tshivenda, we call it 'khosi'. What sound does a cat make? That's right, it meows! We will practice saying these words together.

Now, I will show you some animal pictures, and I want you to tell me the name in Tshivenda. After that, we will make the sounds of these animals together. For example, I will show you a picture of a cow ('ngwena'), and we will all say 'moo' together. This will help you remember the names and sounds of the animals.

For our independent practice, you will receive a worksheet with pictures of animals and their names in Tshivenda. Your task is to match the pictures with the correct names. Once you finish, we will share our answers as a class. This will help reinforce what we learned today.
