n our Bilingual Bicultural program, the students of 5º and 6º grade , made a Webquest about New York, their culture , customs , food , special days … 

The main objective of this dynamic has been thinking and investigating about the city of New York , their culture and identity. 

All of this has helped us to continue working and enhancing one of the objectives of this project , such as the TICs.

Esta semana en nuestro programa Bicultural Bilingüe, los alumnos de 5º y 6º de educación primaria han realizado un Webquest acerca de "New York", sus costumbres, días especiales y tipos de comidas.

Todo ello, nos ha ayudado a seguir trabajando y potenciando uno de los objetivos del proyecto de centro, las TICs.
