Swifter, Higher, Stronger!

We've been learning to add more detail to our writing by adding adjectives and verbs. Here are our stories about the Olympic Games, for you to read. You can also download the stories from the eBook picture.

Swifter, higher, stronger! 

We also put the eBook on our class iPads, where we can choose to listen to Mrs Carter reading as well. What fun!

You might also like to access the full version of the book, with Mrs Carter reading the stories, by downloading the ePub version. This will be readable on the iPad/iPhone iBooks app. This is our FIRST full eBook!
