Italian (P-4)

From Term 4…

Prep and Kindergarten students have been learning about farm animals and loved songs and games.  

In Year 1, after learning about the traditional  Italian character Arlecchino, students have illustrated and written a beautiful book in Italian and English.

The topic ‘Animali preferiti’ (Favourite animals) was a highlight in Year 2, with students interviewing one another, collecting data and reporting results to the class.  

Year 3 students have been learning about days of the week, starting with an action song and memorising words and expressions through various games. Class surveys have focussed on asking questions and formulating answers using the learnt vocabulary. 

In Year 4, one of the most loved topics has been learning about the Euro and its history. Students have observed real Euro coins from different European countries and used an online currency converter to compare the value of Euro with the Australian dollar. All students have also played ‘Buy and sell with Euro’, recreating an Italian market in the classroom.

FROM DEL MONTE TO ITALY! 

Some students from various grades travelled to Italy with their families and shared their wonderful experiences and pictures during our Italian lessons. Everyone asked questions and learnt a great deal about Italian culture.
