Ramón y Cajal

Santiago Ramón y Cajal ( 1852 -- 1934) was a Spanish scientist whose meticulous drawings of stained nervous tissue confirmed the "neuron theory" - that is, that brain tissue was made up of individual cells (neurons), as opposed to a network of fibers (the reticular theory). For his invaluable work, Ramón y Cajal was awarded the Nobel Prize, shared with Camillo Golgi. 

Santiago Ramón y Cajal was something of a hell-raiser!  He was imprisoned at the age of 11 for blowing up a neighbor's garden with a homemade cannon. But he reformed, making use of his passion for drawing, and went on to win the Nobel Prize in 1906 for his beautiful work documenting golgi-stained nervous tissue - firmly establishing  the Neuron Theory.

Estonia: 6thB Laura, Claudia, Marco and Marina Montes

ESTONIA

Estonia is a Northern European country that has suffered more than its fair share of occupation. Centuries ago, Estonia had to deal with rule by the Danish, then the Swedish, and—more recently—the Soviet Union. However, despite these challenges, Estonia has thrived and came into its own as an independent, democratic country.

The isles of Guernsey and Jersey are not part of the Uk, but are Crown Dependecies. There are also 14 Overseas Territories that are not part of the Kingdom, but are under its jurisdiction.

Dia internacional de la violencia de género

Los niños y niñas de 6º de Primaria junto a sus profesoras hoy, 25 de noviembre, han asistido al acto de la lucha contra la violencia de género.
Hemos leído varios poemas.
Dos  alumnas han leído un manifiesto escrito por ellas mismas. 

Lobo feroz

¡Pisotearon sus derechos!
¿Dónde están aquellos besos,
las caricias, los proyectos?
Se alejaron con el tiempo.

Se disfraza de ovejita
pareciendo encantador.
En paredes de su alcoba
¡es un cruel lobo feroz!

Sufre dolor en silencio,
sus palabras son hirientes,
como dardos que se lanzan
y lastiman a su mente.

Las cuchillas de su boca
van cortando su camino,
y los gritos que no callan
la someten a peligros.

Ya su cuerpo no aguanta
tanta burla y desprecios.
¿Escapará del fracaso?
¿Terminarán sus asedios?

Manifiesto contra la violencia de género

MANIFIESTO CONTRA LA VIOLENCIA DE GÉNERO

¡Hola! Me llamo Adriana y soy una de las muchas chicas que hoy estamos aquí. Venimos del colegio Escuelas Bosque para aportar nuestro granito de arena contra la violencia de género.

 PORQUE SI TE PEGA, NO TE QUIERE

Y por eso, aún tenemos que continuar con esta lucha para ayudar a esas mujeres que todavía no han conseguido lo que nosotras tenemos. Detenidas en el tiempo, paralizadas, sin poder decir lo que ellas piensan, por el miedo de ser maltratadas.

En un mundo gobernado, en ocasiones, por el machismo, las chicas no podríamos estar hoy aquí, manifestándonos por nuestros derechos. Tranquilos, ni mucho menos me refiero a que vosotros lo hagáis, pero sí hay algunos que lo hacen, y cada vez que lo consiguen, dan un paso atrás en la civilización. Porque han sido muchos los siglos en los que las mujeres han estado en casa, sin estudiar, sin trabajar,….

Gracias a las grandes personas que han hecho evolucionar el mundo para que nosotros hoy podamos estar aquí manifestando nuestras opiniones.

Las generaciones futuras somos la gasolina que conseguirá arrancar el coche y cruzar la frontera de la igualdad.
