Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about different animals in Tshivenda. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names helps us talk about them. We will look at pictures of animals and learn how to say their names in Tshivenda. For example, 'ndovu' means elephant, and 'mbwa' means dog. Let's listen carefully and repeat after me!

I will show you a picture of an animal, and you will tell me its name in Tshivenda. For instance, if I show you a picture of a cat, you should say 'khosi'. Let's practice together: What do we call a lion? Yes, 'ngwedi'! Great job!

Now, let's work in groups. Each group will receive a set of animal pictures. I want you to take turns picking a picture and making the sound that animal makes. The rest of the class will guess which animal it is and say its name in Tshivenda. This will help us remember the names better while having fun!

For your independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Tshivenda underneath. Use the vocabulary we learned today. Once you finish, we will share our drawings with the class and practice saying the names together. This will help reinforce what we learned!
