NITA Education Visit.

On Friday 15th of October, the Kinder/Prep/One students shared some time with a special visitor. Trish came to visit our class. She told 2 really fabulous Tasmanian Aboriginal stories. She taught us some animal sounds so that we could join in on the stories.

She brought lots of amazing things to share with us. We got to try on her wallaby cloak, hold her clubbing stick and use her clapping sticks.

We went outside and learnt an emu dance. We had to pretend that we were emus, move like emus, eat like emus and run to safety as a group when hunters were nearby.

We have some new words that she taught us:

muna = yes

putiya = no

pama = 1

piya = 2

luwa = 3

tapiliti = go/travel

tunapri = learn/know

kipli = food
