Today, we will explore new words in Sepedi. Vocabulary is important because it helps us express our thoughts and understand others. 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 a 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 include a new word: 'Ngwana o a bapala le diphiri.' This means 'The child is playing with toys.' We added 'diphiri' to make the sentence more interesting.
In groups, you will create your own sentences using the words we learned from the story. Each group will choose three new words and write a sentence for each. Remember to use correct punctuation. After writing, each group will share their sentences with the class. This will help us practice speaking and listening.
Now, it’s your turn to write! Choose five new words from our vocabulary list and write a short paragraph using these words. Make sure to check your punctuation and spacing. After you finish, read your paragraph to a partner. This will help you practice reading aloud and sharing your ideas.
