Celebrate women in science — ENSINUS ETP/ INETE

 Celebrate women in science — today, and every day


International Women’s Day in Science can serve to bring hope, highlight progress, and inspire research communities to continue their efforts to push hard for true gender equality. This celebration aims to draw attention to the efforts and conquests of bright women researchers in many scientific fields and encourage girls to pursue their academic dreams in Science. Although the day has its critics, there is a need to raise awareness. Women in science still, on average, publish less and win fewer grants and promotions than men. Harassment and marginalization discourages promising researchers out of science, especially those whose ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation makes them targets for discrimination.

Activism and action can engender change. Part of achieving that goal involves raising awareness of what is possible if barriers are broken down and support the women scientists that we have.

Portugal Day - June 10th - ENSINUS ETP/ INETE

Imagen
June 10 th  is the official national holiday of Portugal . T his day is called ‘Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas,’ in English ‘Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities.’ The day pays tribute to Luís de Camões, who is considered as the country’s greatest national icon. He is most known for his poem, which narrates the story of Portuguese explorations in the 15th century and has since been accepted as a national poem in Portugal. However, because his birth date is uncertain, his death date, June 10, 1580, is commemorated as Portugal’s National Day.   The Carnation Revolution,  which happened in 1974, expanded   the celebrations to include the Portuguese communities , Portuguese migrants, and their descendants living all over the world. This year we prepared an exhibition which celebrates the importance of Portuguese communities and invited students who were born there to take a photo near their flag.

Writing activities - Contributions to the school newspaper

  Students wrote a news article under the headline "NICE WORK". Texts were posted on the wall (pic).  The best text was selected by the class. Four boys won an award for making an extraordinary article about cats. Today, at school, 4 students were tasked with writing a story for the school newspaper. Not knowing what to write about, they decided to look for inspiration on the internet. That’s when all of a sudden, a cat appeared at their feet. After seeing the cat, they came up with the idea of writing about cats. Once the teacher read the article, she was so emotional that she started crying. In the end she gave them a trophy for their hard work. David Lopes, Micael Lopes, Rafael Ribeiro e Rodrigo Martins TGPSI22/02
