Afrikaans Home Language - Term 3 - Week 6

Today, we will review what we have learned this term in Afrikaans. We will read short texts together and discuss them. This will help us see how much we have learned and where we can improve. Remember, it’s important to listen carefully and think about what we read.

Let’s read a short story together. The story is about a cat named 'Mia'. As we read, I will ask you questions about the story. For example, 'What color is Mia?' or 'What does Mia like to eat?' This will help us practice our reading and comprehension skills.

Now, let’s work together to build sentences. I will give you some words, and you will help me put them together. For example, if I say 'kat', 'hardloop', and 'Mia', you can help me form the sentence: 'Mia hardloop.' Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Let’s try a few more sentences together.

For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about your favorite animal. Use at least three sentences. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you finish writing, read your paragraph to a partner and discuss what you wrote.
