Maria Folau

In Room 6 we are doing activities on the Commonwealth Games, and one of them was to write about an athlete that will be competing in the 2018 Commonwealth Games. I choose Maria Folau, because she is an amazing netball player, and I really wanted to learn more about her and her life growing up and how she became a netball player.

What I did well : I did well by adding information in about her family life.
What I enjoyed : I enjoyed finding out about Maria's life.
What I need to work on : I need to work on adding in some photos.
