This term, our 4th-grade students are starting an exciting learning situation about the digestive system, healthy food, and balanced menus.

Through this project, we will explore how our body digests food, why it is important to eat healthily, and how to make good choices every day. Students will learn new vocabulary in English related to food and the different food groups.

At the end of the project, we will create our own healthy restaurant! Each group will design a menu with nutritious dishes and present it to their classmates.

This activity helps students connect science and English in a fun and meaningful way, while learning to take care of their health and make responsible decisions about what they eat.

Enjoy it!!

In this project we’re dealing with Victorian times and why some children went to school, and why some children didn’t go to school.  Oliver Twist, a novel by Charles Dickens, exemplifies this situation.

In the English classes we are working on children labour during that time and we’re comparing it to our current situation.

Here you have a video of children lavour in Victorian times.

We also have seen that this situation has happened, and is still happening in some countries around the world. We have seen some examples but here is a new one:  KIMANI MARUGE, a man in Kenia who couldn’t go to school because he was poor and schools weren’t free. In 2003 there was a new law in kenia that regulated schools and they were free for everyone. Kimani Maruge went to school at the age of 84 because he wanted to be a vet and take care of his animals. That man was included in the book of records and later went to the United Nations to give a speak about the importance of FREE PRIMARY EDUCATION FOR ALL THE CHILDREN.

Hello kids!
