A memorable journey to London

 london26

During the first week of September, between the 4th and the 9th, the 11th grade students of Escola Básica e Secundária Ferreira de Castro had the amazing opportunity to visit some of London's most iconic attractions and places. They were accompanied by their teachers Ângela Costa, Isabel Moutinho, Júlia Lopes, and Marta Pinho.

On their first day, after leaving their luggage at the hotel, they learned how to take the underground and headed to the Madame Tussauds Museum. There, they were excited to see wax replicas of various people ranging from actors to musicians, the British Royal Family, Princess Diana and iconic movie characters and franchises. In the evening, they experienced an amazing musical theatre production of Mamma Mia! by the theatre company Delfont Mackintosh Theatres.

During the morning of the second day, they visited the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Some students even got to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum, had that been their preference. All three museums offered an enriching experience, allowing the students to expand their scientific vocabulary in a fun, entertaining way. During the afternoon they walked around London, visiting parks, Buckingham Palace and the Big Ben. In the evening, they explored Piccadilly Circus and Chinatown freely, enhancing their conversational English.

On the third day, and arguably the most tiring day, they walked around Camden Town during the morning, learning more about the local culture and, in the afternoon, they had the opportunity to walk the Millennium Bridge and see St.Paul's Cathedral and the Shakespeare's Globe as well as the Tate Modern Museum. After dinner, they observed the London Eye and the Big Ben at night with their lights lit up, taking in the beautiful view.

During the fourth day, in the morning, they saw the Tower Bridge before travelling to Greenwich and, during the afternoon they saw a breathtaking view of London while inside the London Eye. After what felt like a couple of minutes in the London Eye they visited the London Dungeon, an immersive story-driven horror experience that left some excited and some scared to continue the journey inside. After leaving, they visited the famous Leake Street Arches, observing various graffiti.

During what should have been their last day, the students visited the British Museum and the Covent Garden Market. Some students also visited the National Art Gallery, expanding their knowledge on art from the 13th to the 20th century. After lunch, they headed towards the airport to catch their flight and, upon arriving at the check-in, found out that their flight had been cancelled. After tiring hours of waiting they discovered that they would have to spend the night at the Gatwick Airport until their flight in the afternoon of the following day. The night was unforgiving as the students and teachers slept on the cold floor of the airport, barely having any news about their situation.

Overall, even though they had that problem at the airport and walked a lot during the day, this was an enriching and fun experience, where the students had the opportunity to learn more about a different culture and country as well as practice their English skills and make new friends through an experience that a textbook could never provide. It was a remarkable experience that they will always remember and cherish.

No dia 24 de janeiro as turmas B, C e os alunos de Biologia e Geologia da turma G do 11º ano, juntamente com as professora Alexandra Esteves e Teresa Valente, foram até ao I3S com vista à realização da atividade “Cancro hereditário da mama e do ovário”. Assim, os alunos puderam realizar atividades laboratoriais de manipulação de DNA com vista à sua análise para identificação da possível existência da mutação 187deIAG no gene de suscetibilidade para o cancro da mama BRCA 1 em algumas amostras. Foi também possível ficar a saber como se faz investigação em saúde, visitar laboratórios e conhecer alguns trabalhos de investigadores. Foi muito bom!

"I3s e o futuro A visita realizada no dia 24 de janeiro de 2024 ao I3S- Instituto de Investigação e Inovação na Saúde, no Porto, foi bastante elucidativa para nós, estudantes, decidirmos a área que vamos seguir para o nosso futuro. Primeiramente, a ciência abrange inúmeras áreas, indo desde a informática até à medicina. A visita abrangeu uma área específica, a Oncologia, dando-nos esclarecimentos acerca da licenciatura e das saídas profissionais deste curso. Todo o conhecimento que nos foi transmitido permitiu-nos refletir sobre o que realmente gostaríamos de fazer futuramente e, consequentemente, o que não nos apreça tanto para um futuro trabalho.

Por último, eu sinto que depois desta visita fiquei esclarecida a respeito do que desejaria seguir para o Ensino Superior. A Oncologia, considero que talvez não seja uma área que me agrade muito estudar, porém gostei de ver os laboratórios e os cientistas a trabalhar e imagino-me a fazer o mesmo, mas com um objetivo que se reflita numa outra área da ciência médica. Em suma, a visita foi importante para nos ajudar, enquanto estudantes, a tomar uma decisão sobre o nosso futuro e, pessoalmente, creio que fiquei esclarecida a respeito da minha decisão.
