Socialising
Initiate and maintain interactions with peers, the teaching team, visiting Noongar Elders and community members to exchange information about personal interests and traditional and contemporary lifestyles, and recount special events using rehearsed language, have-a-go and survival strategies – such as listening for surrounding key words, repetition, visual and auditory cues (including non-verbal gestures) – when Noongar is expressed in unexpected ways: Kaya Birdiya, kaya kooda. Miyarook ngalak yekanaka ngobar-ak wedjang yookil wer nala.; Naadjil noonook wedjang koril wer nala? Naadjl noonook djiba-djobal-boort?; Miyarook worala baal nyidiny-djil wer maambakoort-ak baal koomba ngiyaanga-kadak. Ngany koordakanaka barang boola yookil wer nala nganyang boodja-dek-ngat.; Noonook yookil wer boola nala barang?; Kaya.
Engage in collaborative activities that involve planning and participating in learning experiences, and activities that combine language and cultural elements – for example, an excursion or incursion, song or dance performance, art or craft exhibition – using Noongar spontaneously and sharing responses and reactions
Respond to and use Noongar in routine classroom exchanges to make suggestions, seek clarification, praise or compliment; for example, Alidja woori/woora waangkan bibool Tanya!; Warn/Maar-koorl malidji noonan-ak waangkan.; Bill, dima waangkan.; Yeyi alidja kwoba!; Noonook nakolak-kadak!
