Because of the decreasing reading habits of primary school students, the inter-
pretative and functional understanding of the professional terms is more and
more limited from generation to generation. The challenge was to connect the
methods of teaching Slovenian language in the 6th, 7th and 8th class with the
themes of healthy food and encourage them to think about the healthy nutri-
tion and healthy way of life. Through a methodological approach we connect-
ed the vocabulary with professional terms of healthy nutrition and enhance the
students to think about healthy food. The students cooperated in preparing
the explanation for healthy food with examples from the theme within the ob-
ligatory program of Slovenian language teaching by using the methods of inter-
view, explanation and comparison of literary texts. The awareness was raised
trough student’s lectures and interdisciplinary connection, writing of recipe
texts of popular food with healthy season ingredients of local origin. They stu-
dents cooked the food and tried it at a school cooking competition. The chal-
lenge was simple cooking connected to the regulations of the National institute
for public health. The goal was also to explain the students the sustainability.
The success was measured by interviewing the students about healthy food
and analyzing their suggestions for school meals and the reduction of packag-
ing waist. The criteria were the ability to connect healthy nutrition and pres-
entation of the food.
