siSwati First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 6

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in Term 3. We will focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing in siSwati. Students will participate in discussions, read short texts, and complete writing tasks. This will help us see how much you have learned and where we can improve.

Let’s read a short story together. The story is about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. As we read, pay attention to the words and sentences. After reading, we will discuss the main ideas and answer some questions about the story to check our understanding.

Now, let’s practice building sentences. I will give you some words, and you will work in pairs to create sentences. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if I say 'Thabo', 'soccer', and 'play', you might say, 'Thabo loves to play soccer.' Let’s see how many sentences you can create together!

For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about your favorite activity. Use at least three sentences and remember to check your punctuation and spacing. After you finish, we will share our paragraphs with the class. This will help us practice speaking and listening as well.
