Aprender haciendo: un proyecto para cuidar la biodiversidad local

En el IES Doña Jimena seguimos apostando por un aprendizaje activo, colaborativo y conectado con el entorno. Por eso, este curso hemos puesto en marcha un proyecto interdepartamental y multinivel que une a los departamentos de Matemáticas, Biología, Tecnología e Inglés con la participación del alumnado de 1.º y 2.º de ESO.

Nuestro objetivo es doble:

  • Aprender a través de la experiencia
  • Contribuir al cuidado de la biodiversidad local

¿En qué consiste el proyecto?

El trabajo se desarrolla en distintas fases, en las que cada curso aporta su granito de arena:

  • Investigación
El alumnado de 1.º ESO investiga las distintas especies de aves que habitan en nuestro entorno, aprendiendo a identificarlas y a comprender su importancia en el ecosistema. Presentan sus trabajos al alumnado de 2º.

  • Diseño y construcción
En 2.º ESO, los estudiantes elaboran planos a escala en Matemáticas y construyen casas para pájaros en Tecnología, combinando precisión, creatividad y trabajo en equipo.

  • Acción y seguimiento
Las casas se instalarán en el parque Dr. Juan Negrín y, en los meses posteriores, el alumnado realizará un seguimiento para comprobar si las aves las utilizan, integrando los datos obtenidos en nuevas actividades educativas.

 Mucho más que un proyecto

Además de embellecer el entorno y ofrecer refugio a las aves locales, esta iniciativa fomenta valores clave como la conciencia medioambiental, el aprendizaje práctico y el trabajo colaborativo.

Se trata de una acción visible y significativa que refuerza el compromiso con la educación sostenible y demuestra que aprender también puede ser una forma de mejorar nuestro entorno. Damos las gracias al Ayuntamiento de Gijón por habernos dado permiso y haber colaborado en la colocación de las casas. 

Seguiremos informando de los avances del proyecto… ¡las aves pronto tendrán nuevas casas gracias a nuestro alumnado!


Learning by Doing: A Project to Care for Local Biodiversity

At IES Doña Jimena, we continue to promote active, collaborative learning connected to our local environment. This school year, we have launched an interdepartmental and multi-level project involving the Maths, Biology, Technology and English departments, with the participation of students from Year 7 and Year 8 (1st and 2nd ESO).

Our aim is twofold:
Learning through hands-on experience and protecting local biodiversity.

What is the project about?

The work is organised in different stages, with each year group playing an essential role:

Research
Year 7 students study the bird species found in our local area, learning how to identify them and understand their role in the ecosystem.

Design and Construction
In Year 8, students create scale drawings in Maths and build birdhouses in Technology, combining accuracy, creativity and teamwork.

Action and Monitoring
The birdhouses will be installed in a nearby park. In the following months, students will monitor whether birds use them, analyse the results and incorporate their findings into new learning activities.

More Than Just a Project

Beyond beautifying the park and providing shelter for local birds, this initiative promotes environmental awareness, practical learning and collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the Townhall for allowing and collaboarting with the development of this project.

It is a visible and meaningful action that reflects a strong commitment to sustainability and education, showing that learning can also be a powerful way to care for our environment.

We will continue to share updates as the project develops.

Celebrating International Human Rights Day at Our School

 


Celebrating International Human Rights Day at Our School 

Every year on December 10, the world comes together to honor International Human Rights Day, a date that reminds us of the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person. This year marks the 77th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and our school community has embraced the occasion with creativity and purpose.

Did you know that only 5% of the global population has read the Human Rights Declaration at least once? To help close this gap and raise awareness, our 1st Bilingual ESO students have taken action! They designed vibrant posters featuring 20 of the 30 Articles in both English and Spanish, now proudly displayed on classroom doors throughout the school.

But that’s not all—they also recorded these articles in both languages, bringing the words to life with their voices. You can explore their work and listen to their recordings in the presentation linked below.

Through these initiatives, we aim to make Human Rights visible and meaningful for everyone in our educational community. Let’s continue to learn, share, and stand together for equality and dignity!




Thanksgiving

 🍁🍂Decorated Turkey Competition 2025!🍂🍁

Our 1º ESO bilingual students have shown incredible creativity by decorating turkeys and sharing heartfelt messages about what they are thankful for in life.

But that’s not all—students from 2º, 3º, and 4º ESO joined in too, contributing their own gratitude posts to make this celebration even more special.

A big thank you to everyone for spreading positivity and appreciation! 




Halloween- Samhain

To celebrate All Hallows' Eve, the students of 2º ESO have created pumpkins made from circles of different sizes. In this way, they actively collaborate and build relationships while working with mathematics in teams.
