Sesotho Home Language - Term 3 - Week 6

This week, we will focus on consolidating what we have learned throughout the term. We will assess our skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is important to reflect on our learning and identify areas where we can improve. We will use short texts to practice these skills and engage in discussions to enhance our understanding.

Let’s look at the sentence: 'Ngwana o bapala le metswalle.' (The child is playing with friends.) Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, let’s create another sentence together. How about: 'Mokhulu o ja borai.' (The elder is eating rice.) Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing.

In groups, discuss your favorite activities. Each student will take turns to speak for one minute about what they enjoy doing. Listen carefully to your classmates and think of one question to ask them after they finish speaking. This will help you practice your listening and speaking skills.

Now, it’s your turn to write! Write three sentences about what you did over the weekend. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, read your sentences aloud to a partner. This will help you practice your reading and speaking skills.

• with a small letter
• with a capital letter
• with a number
• with a symbol

Answer: with a capital letter

Every sentence should begin with a capital letter to indicate the start of a new thought.

• ngwana o ja.
• Ngwana o ja
• Ngwana O ja.
• Ngwana o ja.

Answer: Ngwana o ja.

This sentence is correct because it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

Answer: Read it aloud to check for mistakes.
