Italian at Mackellar PS

The Italian Language program at Mackellar Primary School is a fun, dynamic and authentic approach to teaching a language. This semester the Italian program will be delivered in 60-minute lessons from Prep to Year 6. Students will learn the language through games, singing, dancing, speaking, listening and movement. Students will be exposed to the ltalian language and culture through a variety of authentic resources from Italy as well as a variety of ICT resources including Italian APPS.

 

This week we kicked off the Italian language program by celebrating an Italian morning. The students dressed in Italian colours and costumes and participated in a variety of activities such as bocce, waiter’s race, pasta bracelets, Roman dress up and Italian dancing. The students were able to purchase Italian food and authentic Italian gelato from the canteen. These activities enriched their knowledge of Italian culture and resulted in a most enjoyable morning.

 

A big THANK YOU to the student leaders, our families who attended who attended the Italian morning activities and students and Mackellar Staff for making the day a memorable community event.

 

Grazie
