Fist Aid care

Practicing first aid situations When a person is injured or becomes suddenly ill, your quick action can prevent the injury or illness from worsening, and it may even save the person’s life. Although every emergency situation is unique, understanding basic principles of giving first aid care will always serve you well. That is why this week in PE we have been working on First aid situations.

Calculating PI

 Students from 4th course have performed an experiment to calculate Pi using probability, this experiment is a part of our eTwinning project "Experimenting on maths together". They have thrown grains of rice into a circle inscribed in a square and have calculated the quotient between the grains inside the circle and the total number of grains, four timesthis quotient is a good estimation for pi.

The general result was Pi=3,24 and one of the teams obtained pi=3,184. In our opinion is it really a good estimation for pi, considering the material we used and that we are applying probability

IES Izpisúa Belmonte, Hellín. November, 2021.

Hello everyone! After the celebrations of San Rafael, Mercado Medieval, and Día de Todos los Santos, we are excited to get back to the streets of Hellín for our Healthy Walks!! For this occasion, our partners at Concejalía de Turismo are going to surprise us with an awesome route that is healthy as well! On Monday the 8th of November, we will meet at 10:00 in the park of Centro de Salud n°2 (Calle Turbas de Cuenca - Hellín) We recommend you to wear proper shoes for walking and comfortable clothing, hats, bring water, and be excited to get to know us and our city’s neighborhoods. We will be going with our 1st ESO bilingual students group. See you there!

P.E. Bilingual Section

The presence of an English conversation auxiliar is beneficial beyond linguistics courses, such as those in Physical Education. Anthony, our language assistant collaborates with our teachers to create a curriculum in English, working before and during classes. He is also active in physical education and sports classes. Thank you Anthony and keep moving!!

Etwinning project "Transformed classrooms"

 2º ESO students are taking part of the eTwinning project "Transformed classrooms". This project is about technologies and how an appropriate use of them can change education in a positive way.

Last Friday they were making their avatars and introducing themselves on twinspace.

You can see above some examples

Etwinning project MIE "Maths is everywhere"

 4º ESO students are taking part of the eTwinning project MIE "Maths is everywhere", this project is about finding mathematics in each human activity. There 14 countries in this project, we hope that students will be able to communicate with them in the forum section and to work together.

Last week they participated in Code Week, you can see below some photos of their work.

Thoughts on BBC interview

Thoughts on BBC interview

I would like to share some thoughts with you about a recent interview of an afghan student who had lost her hope to study for becoming a journalist, because Taliban have closed Secondaries Schools in her country. I was listening it in my way to school and I almost cried. Listen it from min. 6:40 to 10:12. https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/hotel-rwanda-hero-convicted-on-terror-charges/id135067274?i=1000536078426 “Every religion says men and women are equal,” says the Afghan girl in a BBC interview. However, at the hands of the Taliban, that has not been the reality for Afghan women not only in education but in every other aspect imaginable. As a woman and teacher, this resonates deeply, yet I feel helpless since I will never be able to fully understand the struggle that these women go through daily. The least I can do for these women is to educate myself and others about what is happening in Afghanistan and challenge the ignorance and bias the media conveys about their culture and religion. I want people to learn and understand that the way these women are treated, is not due to their religion of Islam. It is due to these extremists who only see the sides of the Quran that appeal to men. Since we live in developed and privileged countries, it is critical that we recognize how good we have it in life, and that every day we are grateful that we have a comparably fair advantage in education and careers.

"Learning math as a universal language" The final video

 

eTwinning project "learning math as a universal language"

 Students from 4º ESO  and 1º Bachiller have been working in this project. They have contributed in several ways:

•  The older ones have been working with fractals and record videos about the Sierpinski Gasket and how todraw Koch snowflake using Geogebra (you can watch the videos in another post of this blog)

• The younger ones have writen algorithms about their ages, have simulated the Monty Hall Problem, have coded and decoded messages and have drawn pictures following French students' instructions

You can see below some example of their work

But, the easiest way of reading all the hard work thwy have done is to visit twinspace in the following link
