Italian at Del Monte

It has been a busy time in the Italian classroom, with all grades engaging in activities related to various themes. In Prep and Kindergarten, students have learnt some vocabulary about birthdays, while Year 1 groups have worked on how to ask about and to say their ages in Italian, creating some beautiful artifacts.

‘Family’ has been the favourite topic of Year 2 and Year 3 students, who have enjoyed memorising words and expressions through a fun song and sharing information about their own families.

The highlight in Year 4 has been learning about the Euro and its history. Students with a European background or who have travelled through Europe have shared their personal experiences of using Euro. Everyone has enjoyed activities in the classroom, such as counting Euro coins and notes and converting them into Australian Dollars through an online currency converter.
