Italian

Welcome to the Italian Newsletter. 

During week ten we had a fantastic Italian Day. During session five, students from all grades watched the Palio (the race). Students from years Three to Six took part in an amazing race. Won by a year six all-girl team.  An exciting and fun race.

During session six students went into their classrooms and completed Italian activities. Grades one and two heard the story of Pinocchio and made their very own Pinocchio puppet. 

Prep students made jewelry with pasta. Students in grades three and four watched a documentary about the Leaning Tower of Pisa and in teams made their very own Leaning Tower of Pisa and years Five and Six played one of the oldest game in the world Bocce. Even more exciting was that the canteen only had Italian dishes on the menu and many students came dressed in the colours of the Italian flag.

 During Term three students In Italian will revise and extend their understanding of greetings, adjectives and numbers. Students will be learning nouns relating to their environment, ways of describing their physical appearance and the family. Chants, songs and games will help students gain confidence in oral pronunciation.
