For the Indigenous Language & Culture program at Papunya School in term 1, the Aboriginal teacher and assistant teachers at Papunya School decided to teach the children about the plant foods and some other foods that you can get after rain. Daisy Nakamarra, Tilau Nangala, Martha Napaltjarri, Elsie Nampintjinpa and Mona Nangala went on trips near Papunya looking for bush foods with the teachers,students and Meg Mooney from Tangentyere's Land & Learning program. The Middle Years class went to the sand country up the old Yuendumu road north of Papunya. The Upper Primary class went there too and also to the floodplain country near the mountains south of Papunya. The Aboriginal teachers taught some classroom lessons about these plant foods to all the classes, using the plant photo-cards made by Meg, and Luritja plant flash cards and bingo made by Samantha Dispray of the NT Department of Education and Training (DET), and some Luritja storybooks made at Papunya some years ago and reprinted by DET. Note: This is a draft version of a book about the plant foods found on the bush trips. Meg plans to work with the teachers in term 2 to write Lurijta text about these plants.
