 Frist, watch the video below. Read the words as you listen to the song. Do this a few times. Get those words stuck in your head! 😆 Don’t forget to sing along as it’s important to practise speaking in Italian. You can dance around too. It’s a catchy tune! 😎

Next, choose one activity to complete.

Activity 1.

Match the Italian months of the year to the English ones.

Activity 2. 

Mr Bean has been taking Italian lessons, but he needs a lot of help! 😊 He tried really hard to put the Italian words for the months of the year in the right order. Can you please correct his work and teach him where he went wrong?

Ciao Year 1/2,

This week we are building on our knowledge of how to express our preferences.

Listen to Nancy reading the instructions:

L.G. I can say how much I like something or how much I don’t like something in Italian.

 First, watch the video below.

Next, create a poster about some things you like and don’t like.  Use the sentences you learnt and write them underneath your drawing.

If you don’t want to draw, you could cut out things from a magazine or newspaper and write the sentence underneath the picture/s you have cut out.

Here they are again:

• Mi piace.   (I like it.)
• Mi piace un po`. (I like it a little.)
• Mi piace moltissimo!   (I like it a lot!)
• Non mi piace.      (I don’t like it.)
• Non mi piace tanto.   (I don’t really like it.)
• Non mi piace proprio.  (I don’t like it at all.

This is my drawing of something that I don’t like at all.

Finally, get someone to take a photo and send it to my email address. I’d love to see your work.
