Yaadha Anzac-di (Anzac Day)

The word yaadha, 'day' is from yaay, 'sun' in Yuwaalaraay YY and -dha, 'at, in', an irregular form of the suffix -Ga. (The word yaraaydha meaning 'daytime' is from Gamilaraay GR yaraay, 'sun'.)
In Anzac-di we are using a form of the suffix -DHi, 'source, from'.

Minyangay? (How many?)

 Two versions of colouring in and counting worksheets adapted from https://anzacday.org.au/activities: one is for tracing the numbers, one is for writing the number in the boxes.
We don’t have a word for ‘poppy’, so we have used gurayn GR and guyayn YR YY ‘flower’.
