Today, we will learn new words that we can use in our sentences. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and feelings. We will look at some pictures and talk about what we see. For example, if we see a picture of a cat, we will learn the word 'ikati' and use it in a sentence like 'Ikati liyadlala' (The cat is playing).
Let's practice building sentences together. I will say a word, and you will help me create a sentence. If I say 'umntwana' (child), you might say, 'Umntwana uyafunda' (The child is learning). Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This is how we show that our sentence is complete.
Now, let’s work in groups. Each group will receive a set of pictures and words. Your task is to create sentences using the words that match the pictures. Remember to use correct punctuation. After you finish, each group will share their sentences with the class. This will help us practice speaking and listening.
For your independent practice, I want you to choose three new words we learned today. Write a sentence for each word in your exercise book. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. After you write your sentences, draw a small picture that represents each word. This will help you remember the words better.
