Eating Habits
One topic that is universal to all grades is the idea of healthy eating habits. For
kindergartners, teachers can begin to present the idea of the food pyramid
and how eating something from each color every day is good. To get young
students engaged, a simple game can make learning entertaining. Have
what each color means -- green for veggies, red for fruits and so on -- when
a food from their group is called out, the kids can yell and clap their hands.
Older students can do more in depth projects, like keep a food journal to
keep track of their food intake or complete a study on the effects of obesity
on the body.
idea, students or the school can bring in activities not normally done in gym,
such as holding a dance class, offering skateboarding lessons or learning
Pilates. These activities can be run by a teacher, parent or even a student and
of stairs can illustrate how extra weight strains breathing and makes the heart
and muscles work harder.
The Heart
The heart is perhaps the most important muscle in your body. Its purpose is to
pump fresh, oxygenated blood throughout the body. Teaching students how it
works and functions is an important step in basic biology and understanding
the heart’s role in overall health. Students can take time learning to take a
pulse, read blood pressure and learn what happens to these measurements
as the body is in motion. What happens to respiration, heart and pulse rates
after climbing stairs, doing jumping jacks or running in place? Students
can reinforce this information with colored diagrams of the heart, the path
of the blood through the organ and learning what the normal heart rate is.
Advanced students can even create their own heart model with a variety of
art materials.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are becoming increasingly common amongst middle and
high schoolers. The problem is not strictly an issue for girls but is growing
among the male population. Reinforcing a positive body image and the harmful
effects of eating disorders are important points to make while discussing
eating disorders. There are a variety of videos and other media that can aid
in visualizing the struggle of recovering bulimics and anorexics, which can
help students understand the lifelong effects of these diseases.

Rather a niche hobby, bull running originates
from 14th century Spain where the tradition
of driving bulls from corrals outside of the city
through the streets and to the bullring where
they were to be killed. The running of the bulls
happens in towns and villages across Spain,
Portugal and some cities in Mexico, though
the most famous of the events is the one run
in Pamplona, Spain as part of the seven day
festival of Sanfermines.
Taking place each morning between the 7th and 14th of July, participants line
up at 7.30 am each morning then shortly after at 8 am 12 bulls are
released and chase participants along a pre-planned route through the city
streets and toward the bullring. There are a few simple rules those wishing to
participate need to follow; they must be 18 years old, run in the same direction

‘if’,
the use of conditional tenses, and the ‘unreal past’, that is, when we use
a past tense but we are not actually referring to past time.
A further type of ‘if’ sentence exists, where Type 2 and Type 3 are mixed.
The tense in the ‘if’ clause is the past perfect, and the tense in the main
clause is the present conditional:
‘IF’ CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE
If + past perfect Present conditional
If I had worked harder at school I would have a better job now.
If we had looked at the map we wouldn’t be lost.
In these sentences, the time is past in the ‘if’ clause, and present in the
main clause. They refer to an unreal past condition and its probable
result in the present.
