Italian at Del Monte

Term 3 has begun with storytelling sessions focussing on Italian literature for children. Students of all grades have engaged in the reading of the classic Italian tale Pinocchio by using bilingual texts, online interactive books and videos.

Each grade has focussed on different aspects of the story and discussed the values taught by the book, that is, the importance of being truthful, brave and unselfish. Students have learnt some vocabulary through songs and rhymes and have recreated Pinocchio’s adventures using some colourful finger puppets. Some artwork representing Pinocchio and other characters of the story will be part of a drawing competition for the celebration of Book Week 2025.
