They shoot horses, don't they? -¡Leed, leed malditos!

 We gave a shoot start to our project Read for Fun! 1st year students have embraced this new venture with joy. Reading in English will be more fun now at IES Mirador del Genil.


Thanks to the book donation by the British community in Iznajar, we have the seed to our English library at the IES. We intend to contribute with more and more authentic books in English so our students have a wider choice in order to entertain themselves and go deep into the wonderful land of reading. 


Join us and bring your English books, any gender is welcome. They will enrich our little readers imagination!

Cuidado con lo que deseas, puede convertirse en realidad

 ¿Qué deseas para que nuestro mundo sea mejor? ¿Iguales derechos para todos y todas? ¿Más respeto al medio ambiente? ¿No más aporofobia?


Nuestros alumnos han expresado muy bien esos deseos en el Concurso de Tarjetas de Deseo Trilingüe. Es conmovedor leer las carencias que tenemos como sociedad a través de los ojos de un adolescente. Ha sido difícil la elección de los ganadores por su mensaje, creatividad y originalidad. 


Aquí tenemos nuestros mejores tarjetas de deseo. Esperamos que decoren sus casas y que se tornen en realidad.

When I look out of my window


 Collage by Mario García Quintana

When I look out of my window I see skies, birds, other windows, the roof of my neighbours' houses. 

I can smell the clean air of the morning breeze while a sparrow is feeding its baby. My twin neighbours are laughing while their mum is getting them ready for school. I can imagine people can see nature from their windows, like a mountain, big tall trees or even the sea. Many others see a future full of hope and possibilities. 

When I look at my students' windows, I can feel a future behind their eyes. Their lovely views communicate their child's vision. Their art impresses me, the wonderful colours or the drawings give me peace and enthusiasm for education.

What I like the most is that none of the windows are the same. They show what our eyes want to see.

Adiós mis queridos estudiantes! How pleased to have meet you :)


What a year! But we made it, and we made it really well, above and beyond expectations 

It may sound like a cliché but my students have been the greatest and tenacious that they can be. We were all scared by what this virtual reality would bring us, and we were walking on tip toes on every single new activity carried out. As a teacher I have experienced the support, understanding and love of my young students who were always there giving tips on how to make things happen,

I may not agree with statistics that say our students have not grown as much as they would have under "normal" circumstances. In my opinion, there has been another type of growth that would have not been possible otherwise. Our teenagers have learned to appreciate learning, they have acquired skills to be independent, to self-organize themselves and even to motivate themselves when the only tool they would have was a cold spechless chrome book. They have shown they could make life possible in this pandemic when everybody else would be lost or trying to figure out how to reconfigure their lives.

 My sweet students have proved how important it is to adapt, be flexible and compassionate when we struggle. I truly appreciate their words of love, perseverance and maturity over these difficult times. 

I wish all of the students to cherish this learning and be able to enjoy the great things coexisting with people bring for next school year. Ojalá que podamos vernos, abrazarnos y seguir aprendiendo juntos el curso próximo. Whatever it is, we have proved we will overcome any difficulty and will make our world better.

 All the best for 2022!!!!
