POETRY
In Year 2 some of the students found a book on our book shelf called ‘Chunyart and the Cheeky Parrot’ which included a glossary of some Whadjuk Nyoongar words. Following the students interest in looking at the Whadjuk Nyoongar words and their English meaning, we talked about how else we can learn words in another language and the importance of the Whadjuk Nyoongar language. After looking at different resources to learn some words, we wrote some poems using a combination of some of the Whadjuk Nyoongar words learnt and English words.
