Commencing in Term 2, all children from years 1 to 6 will start to learn the Wattle Grove Primary School song in Italian. This is set to pose a significant challenge. Not only will most of the vocabulary be new, the rhyme and meter is very different from that which the children are familiar with. Of course at Wattle Grove Primary School, we never shy away from a challenge! It may, however, be necessary to simplify some of the Italian lyrics for the sake of ease and a better melodic flow. As we learn and practice together, we will have a better understanding of what changes may be necessary.
In the first few weeks of Term 2, testing will continue across all year groups in preparation for reporting. We will be learning some new vocabulary to share with our beautiful mums and grandmothers, in time for Mother's Day. As well, all years will either be completing or starting a project focusing on wild animals. This is in addition to year specific vocabulary warm-ups which continue to be incorporated into every lesson. The children will be aware they can access their vocabulary warm-ups, including revision from last last term and last year, right here on the blog!
Toward the end of Term 2, I will be on leave for 8 weeks. More information regarding the work I have set for the children and the teacher taking my classes, will ensue.
I look forward to another dynamic term of teaching your children the very beautiful Italian language
and culture.
