Ciao, welcome back to Term 3.  Hope everyone had a great break and you kept warm!

Foundation students will be listening to a story about Pinocchio telling lies.  They will learn the language associated with greetings, numbers 0 - 10 and learn more of the colours.

Year 1 and 2 are learning about items in the classroom and instructional language. They will also be learning the Italian names for domestic and zoo animals. They will continue to revise and learn the Italian language associated with greetings, numbers and colours.

The Year 3 and 4 students will be listening to a story about the snow and clothing needed for Winter. They will learn how to ask what the time is and how to reply in Italian, we will be learning o’clock times. They will learn the Italian language by learning a rhyme and a song about a snowman. They will continue revising the language associated with greetings, numbers and colours. 

The Year 5 and 6 students will continue to revise and build on previous knowledge of numbers, colours, days of the week, months of the year and greetings. They will continue to practice how to tell the time in Italian to o’clock and 1/2  past. They will also be learning about rooms in a house and what items are found in them.

A reminder to students and parents to visit sites such as Languages Online (only the worksheets and posters can be accessed) and Duolingo, to review and practise their Italian at home.  These sites have many interactive games, songs and worksheets that you can complete with your child.  We will be using these resources in the classroom so your child will be familiar with them. They are both free!

A presto! (See you soon!)
