The squirrel Who got away

I, the tiny squirrel feel I’m being watched, and I am. A hawk with big sharp talons and big eyes is watching me carefully. The hawk moves, I bolt, leaping from branch to branch. The hawk watching my every move, dodging every branch, still watching me carefully. I take a leap for a bunch of leaves, [ my home] I land. The hawk swoops around trying to figure out how to get  me. The hawk dives at a high pace for the bunch of leaves and knocks me out of my home. I head face first, falling about 100 feet to the soft left carpet. I quickly jump onto my  feet and bolt up the closest tree, the hawk still half a meter away from me. I take a leap for the next tree, the hawk follows. I trick the hawk by falling out of the tree at the last second and landing on the good soft leaves, sending the hawk crashing into the tree he's dead! Woo hoo I won! Then I scurried into my tiny home. Yum acorns for lunch, I would prefer acorns for lunch than the hawk having me for lunch any day.

Reading Inquiry - Caves

Miss Dods gave Room 4 a journal with a certain article that we had to read. I had to read an article about caves. It was a real challenge for me because I had way too much plagiarism. Miss Dods just had to kept sending me back to get rid of it. Eventually I got rid of it, but it took me a long time. From reading the article I learn’t a lot about caves.

Profile

My name is Jesse. I live in a family of 5, I have 2 sisters, a Mom and a Dad. I’m in year 5, I go to Matawai School. I have two houses, one on the farm and one in Matawai. 

My favorite subject is reading because there's always a different story to tell. I’m good at reading because I can read a lot of words and fly through books. I enjoy soccer because it’s always a different challenge. My goal this year is to write using  more detail in my writing.    

This year im looking forward to moving houses to a place I have never lived before, Hastings.  This year I've achieved writing faster and writing with more detail. Writing inspires me to want to write more and write using my imagination and to want to keep writing.
