Italian Days of the Week
Our Year 7 Languages students have been learning the days of the week in their Italian and French classes. For something different, the girls were given the task to write and perform a song about the topic.
This week we’ll showcase one of the Italian songs and next week, one of the French songs.
Italian students Parker Brindley and Sienna Byrne performed their song together in the video above.
Italian Teacher, Elena Del Bianco said, “It’s a great opportunity for the girls to learn something new in a different and fun way”.
Parker said, “Our Italian song is about the days of the week. Through learning the days of the week in Italian we have been able to learn more about English grammar and mix it with Italian. Our song is also about learning to ask questions in Italian and converting them to how we would ask them in English”. Parker Brindle
“Studying Italian gives us a chance to open up and learn more about our own language and also learn how other countries, including Italy, live and what they do and say. What I love about studying Italian is being able to have fun and learn with different people and develop new friendships through speaking Italian,” said Sienna.
The Value of Student Voice – Jennifer Oaten
“At Santa Maria College, we are not only given the opportunity, but we are encouraged by our teachers and each other to voice our opinions, concerns and ideas—to continue moving forward as a school and as a community. Student voice is integral for growth, and allows for us, as students to have an active role in shaping our education.”
