Tshivenda Home Language - Term 1 - Week 10

This week, we will review everything we have learned in Tshivenda this term. We will read short texts together, discuss them, and answer questions to check our understanding. It is important to listen carefully and express our thoughts clearly. We will also practice writing sentences, ensuring we use proper punctuation and spacing.

Let's read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. After reading, we will discuss what Thabo likes to do and how he feels when he plays. For example, we can ask: 'What does Thabo enjoy doing?' and 'How does playing outside make him feel?' This helps us practice our comprehension and speaking skills.

Now, let's work together to write sentences about our favorite activities. I will write a sentence on the board, and you will help me correct it. For instance, if I write 'ndivhu na u shuma,' we will check if it has proper punctuation and spacing. We will then write a new sentence together, ensuring it is clear and correct.

For your independent practice, I want you to think about your favorite game. Write 2-3 sentences about it. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, share your sentences with a partner and discuss why you enjoy that game. This will help you practice your writing and speaking skills.
