Italian

For all grades, the program of Italian started with the celebration of Love Week. In Years 2, 3 and 4, students researched facts on Valentine’s Day and learnt that it is mainly celebrated in Australia, Italy, France, the United States, UK, Canada, Mexico and Denmark.

Students discovered that it is believed that Valentine’s Day began in Rome, Italy, in 270 AD when the Bishop Valentino secretly celebrated weddings of people who loved one another and were not allowed to marry.

Everyone enjoyed learning new Italian words, such as ‘Amore’ (love), ‘Ti voglio bene’ (I love you), ‘Mi piace l’Italiano’ (I love Italian), while making some creative crafts.
