For Harmony Day in Term 1 week 8 in Italian we talked about things we share between our languages and cultures. Students from Room 7 and 14 learnt that people in Australia and Italy both celebrate Easter, however Italians begin their Easter festivities in February by celebrating Carnevale. It is a fun festival where they dress up in costumes and have fun before the period of Lent in which they don’t eat meat until Easter Sunday. The students have created some beautiful Carnevale masks, just like the ones seen in Italy. Rooms 1, 8, 9, 10 and 13 learnt about words we use in the English language everyday that are borrowed from the Italian language. They have created some word art that you can see below!
