L’autunno e` una stagione bellissima. Autumn is a beautiful season. Le foglie cadono – il giardino e` un tappeto di rosso, arancione e giallo. The leaves are falling and the garden is a carpet of red, orange and yellow. Fa fresco di mattina ma i giorno sono belli e soleggiati, almeno per ora. The mornings are cool but the days are beautiful and sunny, so far at least.
Term 2 has started well. We are focussing on positive behaviours, using our good manners words: per favore, grazie, prego, scusi, scusa mi. Foundation students are continuing to learn the basics of Italian through games, songs, stories and role-plays. Grades 1/2 are learning about the body and the senses. Grades 3/4 are reviewing many aspects of vocabulary and grammar through viewing the Muzzy program. Grades 5/6 are learning about Italy and will be using their ICT skills to design a brochure advertising a region or city of Italy.
