For my free witting for this week I have done a report of a sloth. I have pick a sloth because I don`t know a lot about them and I have not done a report on a sloth before so this was new.

I never knew how interesting sloths are. I was easy to find heaps of facts I would do heaps more  but I only had 20 minutes to do this.
