Today, we will learn new words in Sesotho. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express ourselves better. We will read a short story together and identify new words. After reading, we will discuss the meanings of these words and how they can be used in sentences.
Let’s look at the sentence: 'Ngwana o bapala.' This means 'The child is playing.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, let’s change the sentence to 'Ngwana o ja.' which means 'The child is eating.' We will practice forming sentences using different verbs and nouns.
In small groups, I want you to create your own sentences using the words we learned today. Each group will choose three new words from the story and make a sentence for each. Remember to use correct punctuation. After you finish, we will share our sentences with the class.
Now, it’s your turn to write! On your own, write three sentences using the new vocabulary words. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, draw a picture that represents one of your sentences. This will help you remember the words better.
