FRUIT FAN CLUB: 1/1/11

We start a new project in our school. It´s a health project which is really ambitious because this topic is related to all the areas in the curriculum.

We want to spread it over the years and in a similar way, work with new topics. All of them related to health.

This format would include, year after year, three sections:

PERSONAL HEALTH ( it includes nutrition, balanced diet, oral and personal hygiene, hygiene at school, water as a source of health, physical exercise, responsible use of things, emotional control…)

SOCIAL HEALTH (It includes co-education, peace and non violence, intercultural education, road safety, rules and habits ...)

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (It includes recycling, care and protection of the environment, leisure, environmental protection projects, ecology and consumption ...)

Education is achieved not only in school but is present throughout our lives developing skills and knowledge that are needed. It allows children to reach success in a world of fast changes and full of challenges and opportunities.

In that moment we must work together.

The introduction of cross-and interdisciplinary approaches encourages the integral approach to education

- Improving the school environment
- the strengthening of democratic principles
- The inclusion of parents and local community

Here are some examples of activities we would develop:
