Italian

Term 1 has begun with students of all grades exploring new vocabulary and expressions for greetings through a song, some role plays and an exciting online flashcards quiz.

In Year 3 and Year 4, students have discovered that, different to Australian cultural habits, in Italy people use a formal register when speaking respectfully or to a senior person. This point generated some very interesting group discussions and students with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds shared their knowledge of the cultural practices in use in different countries.

In Prep, students have started the Italian program and were thrilled to meet Toby the Italian tiger. And everyone was able to greet one another in Italian by the end of the first lesson.
