Celebrating Languages Week

August 13, 2021

Pasta In The Valley

On Tuesday our Year 9 Italian classes celebrated Languages Week with a delicious dinner at Italian restaurant Pasta in The Valley. The authentic Italian dinner was enjoyed by all students. We started with a very creative antipasto followed by a variety of fresh pasta. The culmination of the dinner was without a doubt the many flavours of the authentic Gelato. Una serata davvero fantastica e divertente. Una cena squisita e deliziosa.

Giochiamo A Bocce

After spending last week learning how to conjugate the verb ā€˜giocareā€™ Prof Pietropaoloā€™s Year 8 Italian class enjoyed a game of Bocce on Tuesday to celebrate Languages Week! Unfortunately il brutto tempo (bad weather) didnā€™t allow for an outside game but fun was had all the same. Dai che ce la fai!

Italy Wins at Soccer!

A soccer competition between France and Italy was held on Wednesday. Monsieur Cugolaā€™s Year 8 French class competed against Signora Milllimaciā€™s Year 8 Italian class. This was also a link with this termā€™s topic, ā€œGiochiamo lo sportā€. The intensity of the competition was clear in the boysā€™ game, engaging with the commitment of a World Cup final. The girlsā€™ game was also a lot of fun and displayed wonderful teamwork. ITALIA were the victors, winning 5-0 for the boys and 3-0 for the girls. The boys proudly sang the Italian national anthem to celebrate their victory. Evviva lā€™Italia!

A Feast of Italian Music

On Thursday we celebrated Languages Week in a very special way.Ā  We welcomed Squeezamonicā€™s Pep Pezzano to Chisholm Catholic College to play some traditional Italian music on his piano accordion. Signor Cugola accompanied Maestro Pezzano on vocals and Signor Rovedatti didnā€™t hesitate to join him. The students, Signora Fernandes and Signora Millimaci enjoyed singing and dancing the tarantella. It was a great way for our language students to embrace Italian culture and traditions.
