I am ten years old I live in Hackney with my Mum, Dad, my big brother, my little brother and my baby brother. My Mum is from Cuba and my step dad is from Montserrat. My oldest brother Gianni is 12 years old, my younger brother Dante is 9 and my baby brother is 10 months old. My favourite hobby is swimming but I also like roller skating, ice skating, listening to music, playing games on the computer, playing snakes and ladders and watching TV.

The trees seem to be surrounding me
I screamed for help and tried to break free.

Standing on a tall mountain
Calling for help, shouting
All around me is an angry blue sky
I’m on the top of the mountain, very high
The trees seem to be surrounding me
I screamed for help and tried to break free
All the clouds are coming together to form rain
When the water clashes down I scream with pain
I don’t know why Mother Nature is starting to attack
Maybe she’s getting her revenge back
For global warming and pollution
It’s time for nature’s revolution
