Good afternoon!!! Today in Reception we started working on our Italian alphabet with Miss Paola! Of course we started with the letter A. We had to copy the letter and then try to write it on our own. It was not easy!

Then after with Miss Paola, we came up with all the words we could think of that start with A. There are so many like aria, arcobaleno, ape, armadillo, armadio, agelo, arco......etc.

Then we had to draw pictures using some of these A words. Some of us chose Rainbows and others bees. some even chose Ariel from The Little Mermaid!!

Oh and don't forget, Tomorrow is Open Day here at Pianca School. Everyone is welcome to come between 15:30 and 17:30! Make sure to spread the word!!!
