Saluti
Heading into week five of
Term Three, students in all year groups are busy working on term projects.
Years 1 and 2 have been
learning new vocabulary relating to their theme, in spiaggia (at the beach) and
are making progress on creating an aquatic collage. Selected students will have
their work displayed in the library nearer to the end of the term.
Years 3 and 4 are applying
their developing knowledge of the Olympics and are working toward their term
assignment. They are required to research an athlete or team competing for
Italy, follow their Olympic journey and make observations that compare the
final medal counts for Italy and Australia. Further information for this task
can be found under the Year 3/4 tab in this blog.
Years 5 and 6 (including
the MAAC) are working in groups toward creating a 60 second video relating to
the theme of mia casa or mia scuola (my house or my school). The top two groups
from each of years 4, 5 and 6 (as judged by their peers), will be entered into
an inaugural competition held by WAATI (Western Australian Association of
Teachers of Italian). More information on this exciting initiative is available
under the year 5/6 tab. Parents of students selected to submit their entries to
the competition will be provided relevant permission slips before submissions
are made.

Semester One Overview
Ciao a tutti
As we draw close to the end of a busy semester, it is a good time to reflect on all the hard work the students have produced.
Years 1 to 3 continue to impress me with their enthusiasm for their weekly vocabulary warm-ups. Students have been revising numbers, colours, domestic animals and simple conversational phrases from Term One. The primary focus for Term Two has been on learning the parts of the body and students have been engaging beautifully with the song Testa, Spalle, Ginocchia, Piedi [Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes]. In addition, children have been learning the 21 letters of the Italian Alphabet and most have been graded competent in reciting it.
Years 4 to 6 have also been revising vocabulary from Term One and have been steadily acquiring sufficient vocabulary to write their first letter. I have been thrilled with how well students have engaged in this process. Draft letters commenced this week and these will be marked throughout the holidays with the view to the final copies been written and sent to an Italian pen friend during Term Three. Parents will be advised once I have secured a suitable relationship with a primary school in Italy and relevant permissions will be sought before any letters are sent.
Buone vacanze

Ben tornato
Welcome back to term 2.
Over the holidays I completed marking all written tests that were undertaken by students in years 3 to 6. Congratulations go to the following students who achieved outstanding results (45 or more out of a possible 50).
Immanuel - Room 8
Alexia - Room 8
Jalen - Room 11
Naveed - Room 11
Chloe - Room 12
Ida - Room 12
Raymond - Room 13
Ayala - Room 13
Lucy - Room 15
Steven - Room 15
Logan - Room 18
Fearne - Room 18
Angus - Room 21
Sandra - Room 21
Samuel - Room 21
Paarenaz - Room 21
Shveni - Room 21
Francis - Room 23
There were many more students who achieved marks in the high 30s and low 40s which was fantastic to see! Students who were either away during testing or whom did not achieve satisfactory marks, will have the opportunity to sit a similar test toward the end of term 2, with additional support material provided if considered necessary.
Throughout term 2 all classes will be revising content from term one and extending their vocabulary. Years 4 to 6 will write a letter that incorporates many of the topics taught throughout the first semester.
The words or phrase of the week will continue throughout term 2. I encourage all students to incorporate these words into their daily routines wherever possible. Parents can support their children by encouraging them to share their learning.
