Tshivenda Home Language - Term 4 - Week 7

Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next in the story. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.

Let's read the first part of our story about a little bird named 'Ndo'. Ndo is looking for food. What do you think Ndo will find? Will it be a worm, a seed, or something else? Discuss your predictions with your partner before we continue reading.

After reading the next part of the story, I will ask you some questions. For example, 'What did Ndo find?' and 'How do you think Ndo felt when he found it?' Let's work together to answer these questions and share our thoughts. Remember to listen to your classmates and build on their ideas.

Now it's your turn! I want you to write two sentences about what you think will happen next in Ndo's story. Use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, you can draw a picture of Ndo and what he might find. Be ready to share your sentences with the class!
