HEALTH EDUCATION

A cross-curricular topic to implement the use of the English Language in Cicle Mitja and Cicle Superior

CEIP PRACTIQUES II is already a health promoting school. The aim of our project is to work on this cross-curricular topic in English.

 

We celebrate the Health Day preparing and sharing a healthy breakfast and playing games in the school playground

 

According to the WHO concept of health, we will work on aspects like:

  • Food and nutrition.
  • Physical exercise and breathing. Ergonomics.
  • Feelings and emotions.
  • Free time.
  • Good relationship and values.
  • How to lead a healthy life. Healthy habits.
  • How to make our planet healthier.

Why have we chosen a project in English?

  • Our pupils will:
    • Have more contact with the English language to increase their input.
    • Get familiar to a real and communicative dynamic in English.
    • Internalize significant learning in English.
    • Have more chances to develop their multiple intelligences.
    • Get a more active interaction in the teaching learning process.
    • Reinforce curricular and cross curricular knowledge.
