Inanay Gupu Wana

On the 27th of May, the Preps were in charge of running the school's assembly. Since it is Reconciliation Week, they decided to sing a traditional Indigenous song which has been made into a lullaby. It's called 'Inanay Gupu Wana' and is sung by Lou Bennett, a Yorta Yorta woman. She sings the song (see youtube) with her friends in her band Tiddas. 

The preps had been practicing for weeks and have added their own variations to the song, such as hand gestures and using rocks to keep the beat.

Enjoy!

Lyrics

Inanay gupu wanna

Inanay gupu wanna

Ay ay ay oola 

Olla olla olla ay

Yippee yay yipee yay

Goo wana goo wana

Goo wana go wanna

Goo Wah - CHOO!

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!

As you know, our topic in Integrated Studies this term is 'Jobs', and the students have been very excited to talk to all the visitors who have been coming to our classroom to talk about their jobs and show us what they do. Here are some pages from a book we made about Jobs after a great day of role-playing, pretending and experimenting with the jobs that we have heard about so far.
