Healthy Food
Healthy Food is a Clil project thought, planned and usable for young learners starting from the second grade of a Primary School. Working in pairs or in small groups, pupils become familiar with food and their properties through Science, Food Education, Maths, Art and Culture with the use of the four skills in L2. Our itinerary is meant to involve children by activating their prior knowledge based on life experiences.
This project aims to enable students to use food accurately and raise awareness of the positive effects on their health.
We present this sequence of lessons, although they do not fit exactly into the canons of a traditional CLIL module, considering learners' young age and the necessity of parents' involvement.

The chess game
Il modulo The chess game propone in modo originale il gioco degli scacchi in lingua inglese. Attraverso la proposta degli scacchi che non è propriamente una disciplina, tuttavia è incrocio tra logica e inglese, le docenti intendono proporre anche elementi di cultura inglese, in particolar modo ciò che concerne la Famiglia Reale britannica. Presentiamo questa serie di lezioni, anche se non rientrano esattamente nei canoni di un tradizionale modulo CLIL, per il successo che le lezioni hanno avuto con bambini, genitori e docenti.
I testi e il livello di competenza linguistica non sono semplici per gli alunni di una primaria, ma il livello delle attività richieste e l’imprescindibile prezioso aiuto delle famiglie hanno permesso che l’intero progetto si svolgesse positivamente, con la soddisfazione di tutte le componenti coinvolte. Le docenti hanno aiutato con strategie corporee e multisensoriali la comprensione globale degli allievi, hanno immerso questi ultimi nella lingua inglese sia a scuola sia a casa, dedicando tempo e pazienza e guadagnando la collaborazione fattiva delle famiglie. E’ stata preponderante la parte ricettiva rispetto a quella produttiva, visti la tematica e il livello linguistico-comunicativo superiore alla norma di una tradizionale classe di primaria.
La personalizzazione di ogni lavoro, in considerazione dell’utenza, della motivazione, del contesto e dei tempi, è una delle strategie imprescindibili di lezioni in cui si intenda usare una lingua straniera come lingua veicolare.

Creative shapes
Creative shapes is a Clil project tailor made for Primary School pupils in a first grade class. While working in pairs or in small groups pupils get familiar with colours and geometrical shapes through Art and Music. Our itinerary is meant to involve children by activating their prior knowledge based on life experiences. By watching Kandinskij’s, Miro’s, Van Gogh’s masterpieces and at the same time listening to melodies by Mussorgsky, Debussy and Beethoven, pupils can easily embed related language structures and feel as real artists in the process of creating Art.

Talk for...Italy
This is a CLIL lesson about Italy for a grade 5 class of the Primary School. Italy, our beautiful country, is made up of different landscapes. The first part of the unit, lessons 1-6, explores its physical features: seas, mountains, rivers, volcanoes, etc. The second part, lessons 7-9, presents some facts about the country: regions, cities, languages spoken etc. The title was inspired by the English idiom “talk for England”, a sarcastic phrase that means “talking a lot”. WE can now start talking…..for Italy.
