Andalucía's day, what is It?

 

 

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.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

 

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.

Important scientific inventions and discoveries - RPE 23

 

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.

CONCIERTO NAVIDEÑO DE 1ºESO Y 6ºPRIMARIA

 

    Este 22 de diciembre, después de haber visto los mensajes de nuestros centros adscritos, nos fuimos a hacerles una visita.

    Durante este fin de trimestre, los alumnos de 1ºESO han trabajado la canción "Sur les murs" creada por Unicef en francés e inglés. Hemos trabajado la letra en clase de idiomas y con el profesor de música se han aprendido la partitura con metalófonos y piano .

    A la vez en los centros adscritos, CEIP Hernández Cánovas y CEIP Simón Bolívar, también se han preparado esta canción de forma coordinada con nuestro centro.

    Además, los alumnos han tenido tiempo de reencontrar antiguos compañeros y familiares y a sus queridos compañeros para compartir con ellos un desayuno. 

    Os dejamos unas imágenes de nuestro paso por el Simón Bolívar y muy pronto os enseñaremos algunas de Hernández Cánovas. 

    Muchas gracias por estos momentos compartidos. 

 

 

La Navidad en nuestra comunidad educativa

 

Está época del año y estas fiestas son tiempo de recogimiento y de acercarse a las personas con las que compartimos nuestro día a día, con nuestra comunidad educativa. 

Los alumnos de 1°ESO han realizado un vídeo para felicitar a sus compañeros y antiguos profesores y hacerles saber que pensamos en ellos y que formamos parte de un gran equipo. 

Los alumnos de 3°ESO en la asignatura de tecnología han montado el vídeo y han añadido las transiciones que son parte de su trabajo de programación de este trimestre. 

Merry Christmas!

Joyeux Noël!

¡Felices fiestas!

Studying Density

 

    In November, we went to the laboratory with the students to study density. 

    Density is a specific property of matter that allows us to identify substances. This is because each substance corresponds to a value of density. For instance, the density of water is 997 kg/m³ and the density of oil is 920 kg/m3. 

    To determine the density of some material it is necessary to measure its mass and volume. 

            Density= mass/volume

    To study density with the students of 2º ESO we prepared a density column using soap, honey, water, oil, and alcohol. After the preparation of the density column the students predicted what would happen if they added some materials, like carrots and cork. Below you can see some of the density columns made by the students.

With the students of 3º ESO we determined the density of water, a metal piece and metallic polyhedron. To this end, we measured the mass of these objects using a scale and then we measured the volume using a graduated cylinder or we calculated the volume using the formula.

This activity was a good experience for our students because they learned how to work in the laboratory and put into action the concepts that we studied in the classroom.



Shani Martínez, English Language Assistant:

"Working in the lab was a great experience for the students and for me. It allowed me to work with the students regarding words specific to the lab and its procedures.

We also reviewed words that they had been studying in class, such as graduated cylinder, scale, and mass. I think that this was an excellent opportunity to practice their English language skills and to advance their knowledge about density.

We will continue to work on building their laboratory vocabulary and hopefully continue to do lab reports in English to get them more comfortable with these types of activities. "
