Welcome

Hola chicos y chicas de  de Primaria,

Os doy la bienvenida a este nuevo curso que empieza. Este blog nos servirá para localizar y extraer información de los contenidos que veremos en clase tanto de Science como de English.

También os pondré enlaces de páginas web para que podáis practicar en casa, lo trabajado en clase. Creo que es una forma muy divertida de aprender inglés, además de juegos, vídeos y power points que veremos.

El blog es una herramienta muy útil para poder familiarizarnos con las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación).

Aquí os dejo un enlace sobre los estándares de aprendizaje evaluables prioritarios, es decir, aquellos que van a tener más valor en vuestra calificación.
