Sesotho Home Language - Term 1 - Week 10

This week, we will review everything we have learned in Sesotho this term. We will read short texts together and discuss them. It is important to listen carefully and share your thoughts. We will also practice writing sentences and using punctuation correctly. Remember, good communication is key!

Let's read a short story about a boy named 'Thabo' who loves to play outside. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Thabo like to do?' and 'Where does he play?' This will help us understand the text better. I will write down your answers on the board to show how we can form complete sentences.

Now, let's work together to build sentences. I will give you some words, and you will help me arrange them into a correct sentence. For example, if I say 'Thabo', 'bana', and 'le', you can help me say, 'Thabo le bana'. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. We will practice this as a class.

It's your turn to write! I want you to think of your favorite activity and write a sentence about it. Use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if you like to draw, you could write, 'Ke rata ho taka.' After you finish, share your sentence with a partner and discuss why you enjoy that activity.
