It was an ordinary day at school.We were at Biology class and our Unit was about HEALTH.

We learnt food pyramid, proteins, vitamins and minerals. We also learnt how to lead a healthy life style.

In order to understand and learn better Mrs. Right gave us a research homework. She wanted us to search for health stories.

All right teacher !

Dear children, I want you to search for health stories and share with class. You may search from the Net, from the books-you may even go to a library, ask your parents -grandparents, or even write yourselves. You have one week. I am looking forward for your stories.

One week later...

Hello children! Have you done your homework? Did you find interesting stories?

Sure!

Yes!

Ok! Who wants to start first ?

Me

Fine, Jack. Let's start with you !

All pupils start to tell their health stories one by one.

Jack starts first...

I read this in a comic book and I think it is a very interesting potato story. Its written and also drawn by Polish students.

Unhealthy potato

Jablonna Primary School

Potato Jake lived on the farm.

As a healthy potato he was happy.

But one day he met his destiny.

It was McDonald’s.

This shouldn't have finished

this way!

Little chicken George who lived on the farm was frightened.

What are they going to do with me?

Oh, poor Jake ...

But then some thought came to

our little chicken.

It was a good thought:

"He was born healthy, but died

as a miserable chips"!

So the story shows that ...

So....

It doesn't matter who you are

or where you were born.

It doesn't decide about your future.

It is my turn teacher.

I wrote this story by myself.

I hope you like it!

There was a little girl named Rosie. She loves vegetables and fruits. She hates fast food. Everyday she was going for a walk and she was telling people to eat healthy food. People did not want to listen. Girl was so sad so she went home. Her parents asked her "what’s the matter", but she did not answered.

Rosie was making the plan how to tell all people to stop eating fast food and start to eat fruits and vegetables.

Suddenly she came up with fantastic idea. Everyday she will go for a walk with big basket of vegetables and fruits. And it worked. All people start eating healthy food.

THE END

Thank you Oliwia!

It was a wonderful story !

Healthy James by Tomasz Tomaszewicz

I also wrote a story, Mrs. Right!

May I read it ?

This story is about James.

James was a very healthy person. He ate only bio organic food: apples, bananas, carrots and some meat from bio organic farms. He was very sporty too. He was running and walking a lot. He had fitness club card but unfortunately James liked listening to music and using mobile phone too much.

One day he wanted to go for a walk (with his headphones) and he had a car accident.

James had the chance to live but he wasted it. 

You have a chance... don't waste it

Here is my story

Mrs. Right !

One day, Inka decided to visit her grandmother because she got sick. She stayed in bed all day and had no appetite. The girl wanted to help her grandmother. She decided to cook something healthy and tasty. She has gone to Grandma's garden and has collected fruit and vegetables. Later she went to the pantry and brought the preparations. The girl wanted to surprise her grandmother, so she had to come up with a recipe herself. She cooked a very tasty vegetable risotto and she made a colorful fruit salad.

Next day, Grandma asked Inka for a recipe, because thanks to Inka's dishes she has felt good again. Inka explained that healthy eating gives the healthy life. Grandma has regained energy and joy. The next day granny worked in the garden, she was playing with the dog and realized that a healthy mind was in a healthy body. Vegetables, fruit, cereals, rice, dairy products and green tea have become the favorite food of grandma.

Grandma tries to live a healthy lifestyle. She is healthy and cheerful. Jablonna, POLAND

It is my turn teacher. I learnt this story from my grandma. She told me it as a good sample for healthy living. We must take care of our teeth !

Ali is a naughty boy who eats sweets, candies and chocolate all the time and never brushes his teeth. 

l

l

After each meal, he never brushes his teeth and claims that there won't be anything. He says he drinks milk so much that it will protect his teeth. 

Though his parents warn him all the time, he pretends brushing his teeth but actually he doesn't.  

Ali, brush your teeth, sweety!

He says that the toothpaste tastes terrible. He just puts his tootbrush under water and tells lie to his parents. He plays trick on them.  

After a month, Ali starts to feel an ache at one of his tooth. He opens his mouth but doesn't see anything and continues not brushing his teeth. 

That night he goes to his bed later than usual.

Next morning, Ali wakes up at 7.00 as usual for his school.

He has his breakfast and doesn't brush his teeth again. 

He gets dressed and leaves for school.

On the bus , he meets his friend Ahmet. He sits next to him and starts talking.

Hi Ahmet, how are you?

Hi, Ali! I am fine. Hey, what is that smell? It is terrible. I can't stand.

Then he suddenly realizes that the smell comes from his mouth.

Which smell?

Then they arrive at school. Ali runs to school toilets immediately.

He finds a mirror and opens his mouth to check the problem. When he opens his mouth, the terrible smell covers the whole room and he gets shocked. 

His all teeth were yellow in colour and there were black deep spots on his teeth. He can't believe his eyes and looks closer. He sees many tiny worms eeating his teeth.He cries;

Who are you ? What are you doing? 

We are tooth lovers. You never brushed your teeth! Thank you for helping us! Your teeth are really sweet! Don't disturb us ! They are delicious! Yummy yummy!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Ali shouts so loud that the school director arrives.

Ali, Ali what is happening? Are you all right?

Then suddenly Ali opens his eyes and sees his mother.

Ali calm down please ! Are you OK ! I guess you you saw a nightmare!

Oh mum. I am sorry! I am really sorry! I told you lie ! I never brushed my teeth before. I am really sorry. I will brush my teeth I promise.

They hug each other and Ali promises his parents to brush his teeth every day at least twice a day. From then on Ali starts brushing his teeth and never skips even a single day.

You should brush your teeth regulary for a fresh breath and healthy teeth.

We prepared our homework together. We went to the library and searched for health books. We found facts about being healthy and a very instructive story.

Tom and junk food

by Mary Katrani

Chrysostomos Smyrnis, Athens, Greece

Tom was a boy who loved eating pizzas, burgers and everything else that is called junk food. He ate junk food in every meal of the day.

- “Honey, I think it’s time to eat some healthy food, like fruits, vegetables and other stuff like that”, said his mom.

   But Tom ignored her advice and kept eating unhealthy food.

One day, his mom decided that she won’t cook food for Tom. She told him to feed himself.

    Tom was really happy and started to order pizzas, burgers and ice cream every day. Every meal he was eating was junk food.

   But, suddenly, he started to feel sick and lazy. When, one morning, Tom put on his shirt, all of his buttons popped out. Tom was surprised!
