Los alumnos de 3º ciclo ya pueden echar un vistazo al vocabulario de inglés que vamos a ver en los próximos días durante la Unidad Didáctica de «Freesbees». Seguro que conocéis parte de ese vocabulario. En otros casos yo os pongo la traducción y en cualquier caso podéis buscarlo en el diccionario. Aquí os pongo un enlace a un diccionario online muy interesante. Os recuerdo que en otra entrada anterior tenéis un video con una explicación del juego del ultimate que es el más conocido de los juegos con freesbees. Será interesante verlo para tener una idea del juego.

Os recuerdo que en próximos días tendremos un pequeño control de inglés en el que comprobaremos lo que hemos aprendido. Podéis repasar el vocabulario en la página de Educación Física en ingles.
