Hi, today I am going to be showing you my work for my independent literacy this week. My goal was to create a fully updated and modified fact file translating and summarising our learning this term. I gathered the information by researching the lifestyle and achievements of this burly athlete. Also he lives in my subdivision. :-)

Hi Gus, I learnt something new about Tom Walsh. I had no idea that he was literally the 3rd best shot-putter, it was very intresting to me. My favourite athlete is Lisa Carrington. :)
