World Toilet Day

La Catedral de la Lluvia y El mundo es bosque

During the month of December, several visits of 4th ESO students to Laboral Art Centre and Industrial Creation have been carried out on the occasion of the celebration of World Toilet Day, which EMA Gijón commemorates every year . This year, in collaboration with Laboral Art Centre, several disciplines such as art, science and languages have come together to celebrate this event. Our students have had the privilege of seeing the premiere of the sound and visual artwork by Juanjo Palacios, La Catedral de la Lluvia, in which the process of creation of the storm tank of Hermanos Castro Park ,and its subsequent use, can be heard. The sensations perceived and the follow-up reflection have shown the need and importance of both  environmental civil engineering works, in this case related to the use of water and hidden from the view of citizens, and the relevance of art to bring these needs of the city to the viewers in a different way. 

After the first visit to the Catedral de la Lluvia, the students of 4ºESO Bilingual Programme attended La Ser radio programme, Hoy por Hoy, where the student Carlos Herminio Carballo, three times winner of the environmental storytelling contest of the City of Gijón, and his English teacher Ángeles González Bango were interviewed. Students Mara García, Claudia López and Laura Yáñez also answered questions from the presenter. 

Later on, they were invited to see the exhibition El mundo es bosque / El mundu ye viesca, where they were immersed in a fantastic biome inspired by the Asturian forests and the worlds of science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin.

World Water Day 22nd March

 World Water Day focuses on the need for everyone to realise how important water is in our everyday lives and how much we misuse it. In the workshops given to our students in 3 ESO the focus was put on our water footprint; how much water is used to make a pair of jeans, to make a kilo of meat , for the fuel used in our car or simply how much water me need  to enjoy certain activities.

These are some of the pictures taken.

World Poetry Day

 

What better way to celebrate poetry than a reading session in class?

Student’s then chose a favourite poem and interpreted it artistically .

The Legend of Romulus and Remus

 Students of first of ESO have been working on the popular legend of Romulus and Remus. In the History class they have studied the foundation of Rome through texts and videos. Students have also enriched their vocabulary with fill in the gaps activities. Finally, they have created  original comic strips about the legend of the twins with the help of the teacher. Here you have the result of their wonderful work.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 11 February

February  11  is the International Day that conmemorates Women and Girls in Science.

This year 2022 we celebrate its 7th anniversary by remembering those women and girls, both known and unknown, who have opened a path in science for us to follow.

Globally, only 33 per cent of researchers are women, and they are awarded less research funding than men, and are less likely to be promoted. These glaring underrepresentations limit our ability to find inclusive, sustainable solutions to modern problems and build a better society for all.

As a project to raise awareness of the importance of this inclusion of women and girls in STEM , our students in 1º, 2º and 3º have dug into the lives of some important inspirational women who have become role models for all of us.

Regarding our own town, Gijón, it is clear theat women scientists are underrepresented in our street names, as there is only  a mere 5% of them.

El 11 de febrero es el Día Internacional que conmemora a las mujeres y niñas en la ciencia.

Este año 2022 celebramos su 7º aniversario recordando a aquellas mujeres y niñas, conocidas y desconocidas, que han abierto un camino en la ciencia para que nosotras lo sigamos.

A nivel mundial, sólo el 33% de las investigadoras son mujeres, y se les conceden menos fondos de investigación que a los hombres, y tienen menos probabilidades de ser promocionadas. Esta flagrante infrarrepresentación limita nuestra capacidad para encontrar soluciones inclusivas y sostenibles a los problemas modernos y construir una sociedad mejor para todos.

Como proyectos de concienciación sobre la importancia de esta inclusión de mujeres y niñas en STEM , nuestros alumnos de 1º, 2º y 3º han escarbado en las vidas de algunas importantes mujeres inspiradoras que se han convertido en modelos a seguir para todos nosotros.

En lo que respecta a nuestra propia ciudad, Gijón, está claro que las mujeres científicas están poco presentes en los nombres de nuestras calles, ya que sólo un 5% lleva el nombre de una mujer científica.
