Family
Here is Mrs Watkin's class enjoying a lesson on Adnyamathanha words for family members.
The words were
| Baby | Bivi | |
| Mother | Ngami | |
| Father | Vapi | |
| Big Sister | Yaka | |
| Big Brother | Nhungha | |
| Younger Brother or Sister | Vilhali | |
| Mother's Father | Vapapa | |
| Father's Father | Nguarli | |
| Grandmother | Atnyini | |
| Me | Ngai |
The lesson started with a circle and the children passing a ball saying "Ngatyu mityi Bruce" (My name is Bruce) then the child next to them says "Nhanga Bruce" ( hello Bruce) and they pass the ball until everyone has had a go. We have fun trying to get faster at this every week.

After this the children were given a piece of paper and some magazines so they could cut out people representing their family and stick then on the paper, then label them. The children really enjoyed the lesson from the looks of it.
