Considering a full-time school where students spend morning and part of the afternoon and where they have their main meals (breakfast and lunch), the project was focused on food vocabulary, on getting to know healthy food and how important it is to eat it. Also, the project took into consideration foods that should not be consumed frequently and made it possible for students to talk about their food preferences (I like / I don’t like). The development of the work considered food advertisement, product packaging and supermarket brochures. The project outbreak included the use of videos and songs whereby the young students began to use the foreign language (Do you like bananas? Yes, I do!).
