Hi Zoe
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting to read. I really like how you answered the question with so much information. So instead of just putting Anna Meares, you have also put the she is a double Olympic champion in cycling.

Hi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteWow, the Awahono Olymipics sound really fun! This is a very factual piece of writing. I love how you added the blue and red colour, it really sprouses it up. It sounds like Austraila goes very well in the Olymipics! You must be missing your family that live in Austraila. Most of my family live over there too. But I wish they would live closer so that we could visit them more! What is your favourite Olymipic sport? I quite like the swimming and the competitors are sooooooo fast! Great work, Zoe!
I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful posts.
Stay Safe,
Sophie
