Welcome and Kia ora. My name is Jacob. I go to Glen Taylor School. I live in Auckland. I am eight years old. I love writing it is my favourite subject. I have five sisters. I also have three brothers. I am maori and cook island. I have three pets. My pets names are Boy, Rose and Tani. Two of my brothers are in New Zealand and one is in Australia. Two of my sisters live in Whangarei. Three of my sisters live with me. There names are Tajanay, Nancy and Bernice. I love Writing because I am good at telling my own story in my own time . One of my goals is to get better at Reading and Maths. I suck at Reading and Maths Because every time I Read I stop and sound it out and Maths I'm not so good at. I am looking forward to being better at everything. Mr Shanks inspires me because he is good at maths. I love sharing my ideas with others because sometimes they work.
