In class for writing we have been learning to make links between our paragraphs. We were writing about New Zealand Olympic athletes. I decided to write about Lisa Carrington because she is one of my favorite Olympic athletes. I enjoyed writing about my favorite athlete. I found it tricky to find good facts about Lisa carrington. Next time i would add more facts.
Here is my writing.

Kia Ora Willow,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of report writing, I am so impressed with the quality of your work.
Did you watch any of Lisa’s races in Tokyo during the Olympic games? She was a machine!
Are you going to watch any of the Paralympics this week?
It's so nice to see our athletes out of isolation and back home with their whānau in level 4.
Hope you're having a safe and happy lockdown and look forward to seeing more of your work online.
Mā te wā
