Multicultural Day Fun

What a wonderful day we had on Wednesday 11th March. Strathmore Primary School came together to celebrate Multicultural Day. The entire school dressed up in a variety of costumes, representing numerous countries and cultures from around the world. The costumes were truly amazing!

We started the day with a fantastic dancing show. Students were immersed in performances that took them around the world to Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Ireland and Africa with some wonderful traditional dancing. The students had the wonderful opportunity to participate in many of the dances and take part of the show!

The gelato van was once again a hit with students. They thoroughly enjoyed eating their cold gelato on a hot day!

At lunch time, students were able to taste many foods from various countries. We learnt about foods from all over the world which was great to see and taste so many diverse foods. Thank you to the students and families who brought in food to share!!

Our day concluded with an Italian Comedy show that was based in a restaurant. The show had many laughs, songs and wonderful entertainment! The stadium was filled with laughter the entire time and the show was loved by all the students!

What a great day we had at Strathmore Primary School!

A Welcome From Our Italian Teacher

Benvenuti! Mi chiamo Signorina Pane. Welcome!

My name is Miss Pane and I am teaching Italian this year! This is my fifth year of teaching Italian and I am excited to be able to teach all the students at Strathmore Primary School. 

The Italian program will focus on speaking and listening activities as well as written work. Songs, games and interactive tasks will be included in a fun and interactive way.

I am looking forward to a wonderful Multicultural Day on Wednesday 11th March and have already loved learning and hearing about the students’ backgrounds and cultures.  Please make sure permission and payment is made by 2nd March for this wonderful multicultural experience. 

Looking forward to another wonderful year in Italian!

Italian Passports

Over the last couple of weeks, students in Grade Three and Four have been working on their Italian Passports as part of the ‘Travelling Around the World’ unit. Students included personal details such as their date of birth and address as well as their nationalities. Throughout the lessons, students learned how to write and translate all of their information into Italian! They are now ready to travel the world!
