Tshivenda Home Language - Term 2 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about different animals in Tshivenda. Animals are all around us, and knowing their names in our language helps us communicate better. We will look at pictures of animals, listen to their names in Tshivenda, and practice saying them together. For example, the word for 'dog' in Tshivenda is 'mbwa'. Let's all say it together: 'mbwa'!

Let's look at some pictures of animals. I will show you a picture of a cat. What do we call a cat in Tshivenda? That's right! It's 'katsi'. Now, I will show you a picture of a cow. Can anyone tell me what a cow is in Tshivenda? Yes, it's 'ngwena'. We will repeat these words several times to remember them.

Now, let's play a game! I will make the sound of an animal, and you will guess which animal it is. For example, if I say 'meow', you should say 'katsi'! After that, we will act out the animal. If I say 'mbwa', you will bark like a dog. This will help us remember the names and sounds of the animals in Tshivenda.

For our independent practice, I want you to draw your favorite animal and write its name in Tshivenda. You can choose from the animals we learned today, like 'mbwa' for dog, 'katsi' for cat, or 'ngwena' for cow. Once you finish your drawing, we will share them with the class and practice saying the names together.
