For Heritage month, we are embracing the culture of different food during isiXhosa lessons. The Grade 5s are learning about the theme ‘Siyapheka’ (We are cooking). Together, they recited a poem, ‘Umpheki’, which was then followed by tasting treats from different countries. Pupils needed to prepare their chosen dish, and design a recipe card with all ingredients written in isiXhosa. They also needed to decorate their tables relating to their dish and country.
POEM: UMPHEKI
Mna Ndingumpheki (I am a cooker)
Lo ngumnqwazi (This is my hat)
Le yifaskoti (This is an apron)
Eli licephe (This is a spoon)
Le yimbiza (This is a pot)
Esi sisitya (This is a bowl)
Ndiyazamisa (I mix)
