cross-curricular project

healthy diets, a project for P.E., Maths and English

Gloria lives in El Calero, Telde. In this picture we can see her at home with her youngest son, Santi.

Gloria has got another son, Jonathan. He is 13 and studies in our highschol. Jonathan is always eating snacks and fast food, so his mother is really worried about his diet.

She is so worried that during her last meeting with Jonathan's tutor she asked for some advice. Jonathan's tutor told Jose Vico, the headmaster, and it occurred to him that some group could plan a healthy diet for Jonathan. Why not 2ºD?

To be able to carry out this task you'll get help from your P.E., Maths, and English teachers.


  • In P.E. you'll learn what a healthy and balanced diet is, and its importance.

  • In Maths you will work with proportions, so you can calculate how many calories there are in different food and dishes.

  • In English you'll learn vocabulary on food, and how to compare things.

tasks


  1. Make groups of six, and appoint a coordinator for each group.

  2. All coordinators will meet and decide on a healthy and balanced diet for five days.

  3. Then each group will be assigned a school day: from Monday to Friday.

  4. Plan a healthy menu for Jonathan for your day. Include: breakfast, break at school, lunch, tea time, and dinner.

  5. Complete this table for your Maths teacher.

  6. Present your menu in a PowerPoint presentation (kilocalories for each meal must be included).
