Today, Monday 12th April 2021, I attended the new Italian lunchtime Club. It was really fun and we learned some Italian greetings such as ‘ciao’, ‘grazie’, ‘ci vediamo’ and ‘mi chiamo’. We also learned to answer the question ‘Come stai?’ (how are you?) with replies such as ‘molto bene’, ‘così così’ and ‘male’. ‘Ciao’ is a really useful greeting as it is often used as a way to say hello as well as goodbye in Italian! If you want to be more formal you can say ‘arrivederci’ for goodbye.

We also played some fun games such as an Italian version of Pass The Bomb, we ate Italian biscuits and greeted people in the room in Italian. There was also Italian music playing as we entered the classroom.

The club is run by Signora Bourke but there were other teachers at the club as well.

It is really fun and if you are in Year 7 and would like to come, you do not need to apply and it is free of charge! You are even allowed to eat your lunch there whilst learning Italian!

Ciao!
