We have had a great term learning songs and many new words. This term:

OTF, OCM and ORC students have listened to a story about Pinocchio, (Ecco Pinocchio!) learnt to count to 5 in Italian, learnt a song about body parts and a good morning song.  They have also learnt the language associated with greetings and listened to a story about Easter called ‘La Colomba’ (The Dove).  OMD, OHW and OLR will start their Italian classes in Term 2.

Year 1 and 2, (1ML, 2MP, 2AW, 1SC, 2HS and 1SB) students learnt about family members and food, they listened to a story called Mangia, Mangia’ (Eat, Eat).  They revised the language associated with greetings and listened to a story about Easter called ‘La Colomba’ (The Dove).  2MO, 1PL, 1RA, 2MD and 2TD will be starting their Italian classes in Term 2.

All Year 3 and 4 students listened to a story about the little red hen (La Gallinella rossa), learnt about animals and how to make bread. They revised the language associated with greetings, sang songs and listened to a story about Easter called ‘La Colomba’ (The Dove).

All Year 5 and 6 students have listened to a story about a little red car, (La Macchinetta Rossa) , learnt about the regions and capital cities in Italy. They have revised the language associated with greetings and listened to an Easter story called ‘La Sorpresa’ (The surprise).

Students and parents are encouraged to visit sites such as Languages Online, 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!

Buona Pasqua e Buona vacanza (Happy Easter and Happy holidays) to all our families at Greenvale Primary and we look forward to working with your children in term 2.

A presto! (See you soon!)
