Introducción

The school where we are going to carry out this didactic unit is a bilingual one called “CEIP Alba Plata”, located in Cáceres. The pupils in this school have a medium socio-economic level. This school is one of the only two bilingual schools of Extremadura which have an agreement with the British Council. In this regard, both MEC and British Council have developed an integrated Spanish-English Curriculum, based on the Spanish and the National British ones.
Concerning this, the teaching of English is based on the Immersion method and focuses on the study of various areas such as Literacy, Science and Art in English. Thus, this didactic unit is to be carried out in the area of Science.
The class where we are going to develop the unit is year one where the level of English according to the CEFR Council of Europe is A1. There are twenty-four children in this classroom. Among them, there is one boy with a curricular adaptation and one girl with motor skill problems who is only able to see with one eye. This student does not have a curricular adaptation, but needs continuous support. Finally, there is one fast finisher student.
The reason why we have chosen the topic of “food” is that we aim the children not only to learn vocabulary related to the subject matter, but also to distinguish the origins of the food, to recognize the food that is good for them and to help them to acquire healthy habits in their day-a-day.
Furthermore, we are going to develop this unit after the one of “Animals”. Thus, we expect that the children know previous vocabulary of the animals such as “cow, pig, hen or sheep”.
