Nutrition activities

This year we've got a new subject, Science in English, once a week.

This term we are studying nutrition. We are learning about the food pyramid, what the nutrients are, what we have to eat to be healthy, how to make a healthy menu…

We do different activities in groups. At the beginning of the unit we tried to make a mind map to show what we knew about nutrition. We didn’t know much about nutrition, so we didn’t make it very well.

Nutrition is very important for our lives and we like learning about it. We thought that Science in English was going to be very difficult but it isn’t. We haven’t got a text book and the activities are funny and we sometimes use the computers.

In another activity we had to design a menu for two people during a week. We used magazines to know the price of the food. The menu had to be healthy and balanced. It seemed an easy activity but it wasn't. We liked the activity.

Who we are

Our school’s name is Escola Verd. It is in the centre of Girona. Girona is a small town in the north of Catalonia. It’s a public school. The school is 80 years old. The school has got five floors.

It’s a quite small school and we all get to know each other.

Our school has got a tiny playground because there are buildings around it. There are 10 classrooms. There’s also a music classroom, an English classroom, an Art classroom, a lab, a big gym, a little gym, a computers classroom and a dining room. 

We study three languages: Catalan, our main language,  Spanish and English. The students of 5^th  and 6^th  grade study Science in English and from 3^rd to 6^th grade, Art in English.

We start school at 9 o’clock and we finish at half past 4. There are about 250 students, 25 in each class more or less. We sometimes divide the class into two groups to work better.

There are 18 teachers.

About 200 students have lunch at school and the food is delicious. 

Ous school develops different projects:

* Reusing our textbooks.

* Viure La Catedral. It’s about Girona’s cathedral that is very beautiful.

   Every year we study different parts of the cathedral.

* Every year we participate in a solidarity campaign.

* This year we are starting a CLIL Project that’s why we do Science in English.

We love our school!
