Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

My turtle's name is Caroline and she's very funny! In her pen, she has a little pond to drink and bathe. She knows how to swim. Sometimes, she has a walk in the garden, but she doesn't go very fast! She likes eating lettuce and small pieces of tomato. When she feels shy, she hides in her shell! I often play with her, when I'm home!

Getting that for you now...
