Today, we will learn new words in Sepedi. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and feelings. We will start by looking at some pictures and identifying the words that describe them. For example, if we see a picture of a 'ngwana' (child), we will say the word out loud and use it in a sentence like 'Ngwana o a bapala' (The child is playing).
Let’s practice building sentences together. I will say a word, and you will help me create a sentence. For instance, if I say 'metsi' (water), we can say, 'Ke na le metsi' (I have water). Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is how we write sentences correctly.
Now, let’s work in groups. Each group will receive a set of pictures and vocabulary cards. Your task is to match the pictures with the correct words. After matching, each group will create a sentence using one of the words. For example, if your picture is of a 'tshipi' (star), you might say, 'Tshipi e a khanya' (The star is shining).
For your independent practice, I want you to choose three new words from our lesson today. Write a sentence for each word in your exercise book. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. After you finish, draw a small picture that represents each sentence.
