After a disrupted start to the school year, students have been working extremely hard to catch up on important learning.
Children in Year 1 are commencing their Italian language journey with Signora Q and learning many of the basics, including introducing themselves, how to greet people, numbers to 10 and colours.
Children in Year 2 are working toward creating their own birthday invitation in Italian. This involves them learning how to tell the time both on the hour and the half hour.
The Year 3 curriculum sees a large leap in content from the Year 2 curriculum with the major focus all year on family. Children are working toward being able to introduce their family members and describing them with adjectives. In Term 2, I will hold an interview with each student for them to demonstrate their learning.
Year 4 students have commenced their learning journey toward being able to describe their daily routine. A highly relevant unit, by the end of this unit they will be able to describe what time they wake up, have breakfast, brush their teeth and hair, get dressed, go to school, etc.
Year 5 and 6 students work on the same program that differs in alternate years - this is in order to provide two years of preparation for secondary school learning. They are currently learning about their home and incorporating their learning from the last two years to expand their vocabulary and understanding. There is a major focus on grammar in these years and children are extended in this area, again with the goal of supporting their secondary learning. They are working toward a major video assessment next term which will have them describe the different rooms in their home. More information on this assessment will be posted on the Italian Blog, early next term.
Students wishing to reinforce and/or extend their learning are encouraged to access class content on the Wattle Grove Primary School Blog.
Grazie per il tuo tempo.
Signora Isaia.
