Apple Corer Explanation Writing

Today we have written explanations about an Apple Corer. We used different apps on the iPads to help us with our writing.  We were very lucky to have some helpers from Mahutonga come in and help us with the iPads. Some of us learnt to use Piccollage and some of us learnt to use word Q.
You can read our writing below.
