Writing
WALT edit and re craft
This week we had to make a writing about a fox. Here it is
Fox vs Wolf
In the bushes you see an orange tail getting ready to pounce. A little mouse is slowly walking past, in a flash the fox pounces and the mouse is sprinting away while the fox gives chase, as they leap around the forest a cliff comes up the mouse jumps and falls into the darkness. The fox hears the noise of the mouse squealing for its life as the fox sees red evil terrifying eyes peering at him .The fox runs away. He then gets distracted by a butterfly and frolic around it, until it sees a cloud consuming him.
The fox runs to a cliff where it climbs up and goes into its cave where it has its belongings. There is a doll and a blanket he lies there while the booming of rain falls as the fox sits there. Suddenly he sees black outlines of wolves chasing the whole forest. The cry of a deer echoes around
He wakes up as you see a waterfall across from the fox he goes over there to drink he sees a fish he leaps into the water getting the fish in his mouth he got it, but then a wolf comes and lickes the water. Blood goes through the water as the fox holds his breath as the wolf looks directly at him, he leaves the fox and comes up shocked with fear he runs away
The wolf waiting sprints at him. They run all around the forest, the fox climbs up a tree the wolf follows, barely jumps from one tree to another his front legs are barely hanging on, and he lifts himself up. Under the tree is a big hole going very deep if he were to fall he will surely die there is a tree on the other end, so he jumps while the wolf open his mouth and just as he's going to bite him he leaps in the air he jumps on and barely makes it as the wolf falls as the fox gets away the forest is safe.

Feedback from Mrs Hall: Well written Xavier, I liked the way that you used paragraphs and organised your writing into different ideas.

About me
WALT make a blog post about online foot prints
W.A.L.T create a positive digital footprint.
This week for cyber smart we had to learn about online foot prints which is where anything you do on the internet is traced and how you should not share personal information so we had to make a google drawing about us but not telling too much information. Then we played a kahoot which is where it gives you quizzes which tested us on our knowledge from last term
Reflection
