Guided tour around Siles

On October, 17th , the students of 4th of ESO prepared a guided tour to show Sarah the main landmarks of our town.
Here is what Sarah wrote after the visit, some pictures and the video Lola did. We hope you like them.

After my tour of Siles on Tuesday, I can confirm that fourth of ESO could all have a successful career in tourism in the future. The helpful and friendly tour has informed me about all the main sites in Siles such as El Cubo, the church and La Glorieta. Different pupils told me some interesting facts, some history and a personal anecdote for each site. For example, did you know that if you stand in the middle of the Glorieta you can hear an echo?! Also, before going on the tour, I had no idea that El Sequero or La Iglesia de San Roque even existed! A truly beautiful town shown to me by a great group! Thanks fourth of ESO for showing me around!

Academic year opening ceremony


On the second of October, we celebrated the traditional opening ceremony at the assembly hall. Here are the summaries some students wrote about it in 2nd of Bachillerato.

SCHOOL YEAR OPENING SPEECH
Last Monday, at Doctor Francisco Marín high school, it took place the school year opening speech, given by Irene Carrasco García.
She studied here nine years ago. Later, she graduated in Medicine at Seville University. Currently, she is working as an oncologist at Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville.
In her speech, she explained the illness of cancer: What it is, how it reproduces and how to fight it. She also insisted on the importance of having healthy living habits in order to decrease the possibility of suffering from cancer.
In the end many students asked some interesting questions about the topic.
                                                                      Álvaro Zorrilla Carriquí. 

In my opinion, this lecture was really interesting, specially for me, since I want to be an oncologist in the future. It was worth watching it. 
                                                                       Alicia Jiménez Campos. 

In my opinion it was very practical because she showed us how to prevent the disease. Moreover, before the lecture finished, there was an intense debate. 
                                                                       Juan Cano Jiménez. .

She told us many interesting things, but I heard a sentence that caught my attention: "If you want to do or be something, you should chase it until you get it, this way you will never regret it".
