In Week 1 of Term 2, children from all year levels learned of the origins of the Festa Della Mamma (Mother's Day) in Italy. As in Australia, Mother's Day is a very special day which is celebrated on la seconda domenica del mese (the second Sunday of the month), just as it is in Australia. Children generally will write a poem or complete a craft activity at school to present to their mums and grandmothers. Mum may be treated to a special breakfast (often a sweet pastry and a coffee) and then the family will get together for a picnic or take their mum or grandmother to their favourite cafe` or restaurant. This year, however, as has been the case in Australia, Italian families have had to be creative and celebrate this special day at home.
Spero che tutte le mamme e le nonne della scuola elementare di Wattle Grove hanno avuto una bella giornata.
Below are some photos of bookmarks some of the children in Years 2 and 3 created.
