Ben fatto (well done) 3/4T.  They are this year's winners of the school wide pasta competition. Throughout the year each class from Year 1 is given pasta weekly in recognition of their attempts at Italian and their spontaneous use of the language in class. 3/4T was a standout learning team with 99 pieces of pasta ahead of their nearest competitors 3/4H. They celebrated with some special outdoor fun, exploring some new colourful designs which had just been painted around our school. They quickly spotted Italia on our new world map. Bravi!! 

Each year, the Preps learn the first verses of the song "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" You Came Down From the Stars. One of Italy's most famous Christmas carols, written in 1732 by Saint Alphonsus Liguori.  The lyrics are printed on their stars.

Buon Natale a tutti!
