Kiswahili

At our school, we believe that learning Kiswahili not only connects students to the rich culture of East Africa but also develops essential language skills that foster communication and understanding. Here's a snapshot of the exciting progress our students are making in their Kiswahili language journey.

In Year 1, students have been introduced to basic greetings, self-introductions, and counting from 1 to 10. Year 2 learners have continued practising greetings and are now focusing on Swahili vowels and alphabets. Year 3 has built on this foundation, learning the names of classroom items while also working on pronunciation and spelling rules.

In Years 4 to 6, students have been refining their language skills with more complex greetings for different ages and times of the day, as well as practising self-introductions. Year 5 has focused on expanding vocabulary and using adjectives to describe their summer holidays, while Year 6 has been learning the names of internal and external body parts in Kiswahili.

Each year group is developing essential communication skills as they progress in their language journey.
