Benvolgudes famílies, Aquí teniu la setena entrega de la nostra revista digital en anglès Bogamagazine, realitzada pels alumnes de P4 fins a 6è de l’escola, en col·laboració amb les mestres especialistes d’anglès. El tema que hem escollit enguany és el de països on es parla l’anglès, amb motiu dels projectes que els alumnes de P5 fins a 6è han realitzat a classe. Aquesta és una revista feta amb molt esforç, dedicació i afecte. A més, és una eina molt motivadora per als alumnes.
