Italiano per la settimana 8 fino alla fine delle vacanze

Italian for Week 8 through to the end of the holidays.

Ciao a tutti

Molto importante! Before accessing any online content, it is very important you ask your parents, first, and then show them what it is you are doing.

Please access the Wattle Grove Primary School Italian Blog for all the vocabulary you have been focusing on this term. Revise vocabulary from previous years from the tabs at the top.

Movies in Italian

If you have access to Netflix, Stan or other movie streaming channels, choose a favourite movie, one you are very familiar with, (Disney movies are great) and change the audio so you listen to it in Italian and add English subtitles. Then watch the same movie again but this time listen to it in English and change the subtitles to Italian.

Games you can play with your brothers and sisters.
Simone dice (Simon says).

One person is Simone. Your brothers and/or sisters stand in a straight line. Simone then calls out in Italian the part of the body which your siblings much touch. Everyone must follow this instruction. If someone doesn’t do it, or they touch the wrong body part, they are out and must sit down. If Simon calls out an instruction without saying "Simone dice", anyone who obeys this instruction are out and must sit down. The last person standing wins, and becomes the next Simone.  Per esempio:

Years 4 to 6 Challenge

Create a *KAHOOT for each of Years 1, 2 and 3 students, that adhere to the following themes:

·         Year 1: Animal domestici (domestic animals/pets) colori (colours), buon maniere (good manners), numeri da 1 a 20 (numbers 1 to 20) and saluti (greetings).

·         Year 2: Giorni della settimana (days of the week), mese dell anno (months of the year), cibo (food) - think of what the Little Hungry Caterpillar eats, or else every day foods including fruits and vegetables, parti di corpo (parts of the body).

·         Year 3: La mia famiglia e mia casa (My family and my house).

*If you are unable to use Kahoot, design a set of quiz questions that have multiple choice or true/false answers. For example:

Q1. How do you say ‘my sister’?

A.      Mio sorello	B.      Mia sorello
C.      Mia sorella	D.      Mio fratello

Create a game of Tombola (Bingo)

Choose a theme that you are interested in. It can be one you have studied before or something else that interests you. Research the Italian vocabulary for your theme and create a Tombola card (see the template idea below). Make up some flashcards...find an image and write the Italian word. Practice your game with your brothers and/or sisters. Some examples of themes may include:

                  Sport

                  Transport  

                  Pets

                  Wild animals

                  Clothing

                  Family

                  Food (Fruits and vegetables)

                  Nature

                  At the beach

Per favore, pensa all'Italia

Ciao a tutti.

As Australia begins its fight to overcome the Coronavirus, please think of the beautiful Italian people of Italy and all our friends and family from every country around the world that have been showing such incredible courage and resilience as they face, and continue to face, perhaps the biggest test any of us will experience in our life time.

I feel so blessed to be a teacher at Wattle Grove Primary School, for I know that we will all support each other and work together to get through the next few weeks of uncertainty. We have THE most amazing students and when school does return to what we all know and love, I am certain everyone will continue to demonstrate just how our resilient we are and how much we care about our school.

To all my wonderful students, please keep your bright and creative minds alive through learning every day. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting suggestions for activities, games and projects you can do at home, to help you with your Italian learning. In fact, this will be a wonderful opportunity to do a little bit of learning every day - for we know, to learn a language well, we need to practice every day.

To start with, please be sure to go through your vocabulary warm-ups at least twice a week - you can access them under your year level tab. Why not challenge yourself and try the warm-ups for another year group? Perhaps you could create your own! Also, check out some of the educational games and other suggestions on the Online Links tab. Lastly, please check this Blog at least twice a week for updates.

Fine alla prossima volta.
