What's Happening in Italian
Italian Morning
The Italian Morning was a great success, the weather, the students having a lot of fun participating in the activities, the spaghetti eating competition which had many spectators and lastly the delicious gelato and pizza.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a big Grazie to the amazing parents/carers who run the various Italian activities and canteen. I am overwhelmed by your support and participation.
Thank you to our local pizza shop ‘Pizza Dude’ from Delahey Village who quickly supplied the whole school with pizza slices.
Prep students are learning how to say the numbers, some classroom objects and new songs and games all in Italian.
Year 1 and 2 are making a book about ‘Il Piccolo Bruco’ (The Little Caterpillar’) found in our vegetable garden ‘l’orto’ and eating through our vegetables. The students are also learning to identify and pronounce classroom objects.
Year 3 and 4 are continuing learning about unusual famous places around Italy, classroom objects and using classroom language in Italian.
Year 5 and 6 students are also learning about interesting famous places and using classroom language to write a script and perform in front of an audience all in Italian.
What’s happening in our ‘ORTO’ (vegetable garden)?
The students have been very busy growing vegetables for our ‘orto’ (vegetable garden).
The Garden Group have planted zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkins and cucumbers
A big ‘Grazie’ to Brimbank Council for organising free seedlings from ‘Bunnings’.
