Today we are celebrating Andalusia's Day. We have in school several studens from various nationalities and they don't know why we celebrate Andalusia's Day.
In this video we explain them our symbols and we ask them what is their vision of Andalusia, what thoughts come to their minds when they think of Andalusia. What comes next is their answers.
Thank you all for your participation.
On February 11th, it was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
So, to enlighten and encourage the students of the first and third of ESO, we read a comic about five influential women in STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
The women that we discussed are: Hipatia from Alexandria, Hedy Lamarr, Rosalind Franklin, and Ada Lovelace. All of these women were pioneers in their fields, and the world today would not be the same without them.
Third of ESO then had to do a project on one of these women. They had to pick who they thought was the most interesting and then create an Instagram profile for them. The pictures below are of the students with their projects. Even though more and more women are entering science-related fields today, women and girls have not always had the encouragement and resources necessary to pursue their dreams.
That is why it is important to show the girls within Rafael Perez Estrada that they have role models to look up to in STEM.
This also includes their teachers, for example Katherine Valderrama and Ana Gordo. They are capable of entering any sector they wish, even if it is still a male-dominated field.
Personally, I had encountered what it means to be a woman in STEM. In university, I was one of the few women in my Anthropology classes. With the recent advancements in society, what used to be a barrier to enter the world of science (one’s gender) is now something that is used to encourage the scientists of the new generation.
I hope to see the girls of Rafael Perez Estrada dominating science fields in the near future.

During December some groups of third year have done presentations about important scientific inventions and discoveries. It was a great opportunity not only to learn about science and its importance for daily life, but also to practice corporal expression, writing, and public speaking in English.
Here we present summaries and impressions about this activity written by students.
Como todos los años, los alumnos del IES Rafael Pérez Estrada, hemos acudido al Festival de Cine Francés de Málaga. Nuestra ciudad acoge ...
