Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by continuing to expand context-related vocabulary and applying elements of the Noongar grammatical system, including:

  • noticing and using singular and plural nouns in such contexts as
    • roles of extended family members
    • hunting or cooking procedures for different meat, and ways of cooking different foods
    • boorn warn-midi-k – plants for tool making
    • the sea as a source of food and sea food chains
    • times of the day (24 hours) dawn-dusk-dawn, and their features, and timelines and charts
    • identifying the relationship within a specific environment between plants, animals, birds and insects
  • identifying nouns which can be derived from verbs and vice versa, such as waap/waabiny, yekan/yekaniny
  • developing an understanding of singular and plural subject and object pronouns, such as baal/baalany, ngalak/ngalany
  • building on the use of adjectives, including those of character and appearance; for example, woomboodin, karang, koorantj
  • building on the use of adverbs, including extension of direction; for example, arn, karda werda, bardook, yendoon (over, across, near, underneath)
  • developing an understanding of compound verbs and the use of the suffix/affix -abiny to show becoming or getting; for example, Baal kaalangabiny. (It’s hot becoming.)
  • extending the use of modal verbs, including may, might; for example, Mining ngany badjedborl koorl?
  • developing an understanding of the use of midi on the imperative or base verbs, such as nookert-midi (sleep-thing/bed) or dookern-midi (cook-thing/pot/pan/utensil, depending on context), to illustrate an unfamiliar Noongar word
  • identifying and extending the use of nominal suffixes/affixes, including the use of -mokiny, as in dwert-mokiny, djowa-mokiny (dog-like, wool-like) and the use of the suffix/affix -koop, as in boodja-koop, moyootj-koop (land habitat, swamp habitat)
  • building on the use of negative suffixes/affixes
  • building on the use of the suffix/affix -kadak

Build and extend a metalanguage in Noongar to talk about language using terms similar to those used in English, such as noun, pronoun, suffix/affix, verb, tense, adjective

Apply the structures and conventions associated with a range of text types and identify key features and functions of the different genres
