Every year the Italian language is celebrated in all the world during the Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo (Italian week in the world) by all those people who have an Italian background, speak Italian and live overseas or love the Italian language and culture.To commemorate the event today we have decided to organise an Italian Celebration Day in Ruma 2 at Richmond Road School in Ponsonby with a pizza, Italian songs and words.
Early in the morning the teacher, Miss Nina, has set up the table for the class, so as soon as the bell rang we have started our adventure. First of all, we have sung a classic Italian lyric:
Ciao buon giorno
Ciao buon giorno
Come stai?
Come stai?
Molto, molto bene!
Molto, molto bene!
Grazie a te
Grazie a te
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
How are you?
How are you?
Very well thank you.
Very well thank you.
How about you?
How about you?
...and then, after talking about the pizza and the ingredients (in Italian and in English) we have all taken turns rolling the dough....
 |
| Lorenzo and some friends |
 |
| Elliott and her friends |
 |
| Some more rolling |
....then we have waited for the pizza setting the plates on the tables and making funny jokes !!!
 |
| Lorenzo and Leo are waiting for the pizza to be cooked |
...and finally, when all the pizza was gone, I have taken a photo of all the class!
 |
| Ruma 2 at the end of our adventure |
Believe me the children had lots of fun!
A presto!
