The Aida Cobos Children's Literary Club has had a busy month of March in 2021!
And it is that on the occasion of International Women's Day, the smallest of the house carried out activities and crafts with this theme on their first day of the club:
They have read the book "Girls are wars" by Irene Cívico and Sergio Parra, which collects the stories of 26 rebellious women who changed the world with their adventures and achievements.
One of the first women they have read about has been Hypatia of Alexandria, who was the first woman scientist in history, and who was the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, the last director of the mythical Library of Alexandria.
Later, they have made crafts with plasticine, papers and sticks, representing the planet Earth with its transverse axis, with which you can play to make the movements of our planet: rotation and translation, as Hypatia wrote in her time.
In their second meeting, they continued reading the book "Girls are warriors", but this time the boys and girls of Torremolinos discovered Ada Byron, better known as Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician, computer scientist and writer, famous for her work on Charles Babbage's general purpose calculator, called the analytical engine, which is why she was the first person in the world to program a machine, thus inventing the programming of machines and computers that we know today.
After learning by reading about this important woman, they have made a collage as a craft, cutting out from advertising magazines what each boy and girl has considered most interesting in order to create an artistic algorithm.
And finally, in their third and final meeting of the Children's Literary Club, they have continued to read the book about the 26 rebellious women who changed the course of history, focusing on the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and also TWICE! She could not be other than Marie Curie and her theory of radioactivity.
In addition, for the day's craft, they have used colored plasticine, cardboard, strings and pencils, to make an artistic representation of Radium, the chemical element of the periodic table that Marie Curie discovered as well as radiation, and for what it awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, the most prestigious in the world in 1903.
You just have to look at the pictures, to see how much fun the little ones have in this activity to which more boys and girls can sign up by writing an email to bibliotecapicasso@torremolinos.es.
