Italian

Hello, and welcome to our newsletter. 

Italian Term One was jam-packed with knowledge and excitement. 

I'm sure Term Two will be just as exciting. During Term Two, Prep students will continue to learn Italian greetings. Students will learn to count to 30 verbally and in writing, as well as recognise body parts, colours, and family members. Chants, songs, and learning exercises will help students develop confidence in oral pronunciation.

Students in Grades One and Two will coverer a variety of topics that will introduce new vocabulary and cultural aspects of Italy. Students will extend their knowledge in Italian for body parts, greetings, family members, colours and how to express likes or dislikes in Italian. Chants, songs and learning activities will assist them in gaining confidence in oral pronunciation. 

Students in Grades Three and Four will continue to use greetings, ask and respond to questions about themselves and others and write simple sentences. Students will be learning nouns relating to their environment, ways of describing physical appearance and days of the week. Chants, songs, and learning exercises will help students develop confidence in oral   pronunciation. 

During Term Two students in Grades Five and Six will continue to use greetings and ask and respond to questions about themselves. Students will study personal pronouns and numerals up to 60 in Italian and how to describe themselves and other people. Chants, songs, and games will help students acquire confidence in spoken communication.
