“Welcome to 3 news. This is your reporter Tevita and as you can see here, there has been a massive tsunami heading to Japan and behind me, you can see people frightened with fear and people screaming for help. Now over to you Jason.”

“All right now standing right behind me are people who have survived the tsunami and some people are crying for their lost by ones. People are horribly terrified because of the smashing waves and houses collapsing, such as power lines,cars and train stations and now it’s heading towards the capital city and I hope it doesn’t do any damage there.”

So that when we learn about natural disaster we can use our knowledge of the layers to understand them better and to help us in topic and science and learn about the earth around us!

The outside of the earth is called the crust made by a jigsaw of tectonic plates. The crust(or tectonic plates)contain the continents ,the seas and the earth. Did you know that the thickness of the crust is 15 to 75 km and it keeps the world together?

The second and the third part of the earth is called the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle contains,iron,magnesium and sulphur. Did you know that the thickness of the upper mantle is 400 km?

The lower mantle is more dense than the upper mantle and did you know that the thickness of the lower mantle is 2300 km?

The fourth part of the earth is called the outer core.The outer core contains liquid,iron,nickel and sulphur and did you know that the thickness is 2300?

My Day in the Big City

When I walked down from the plane, I could see people hurrying to their jobs, bus drivers waking up to pick up people and open stores just getting ready to sell their things. When I walked past burger king, I could smell the sweet smell of a double cheese burger. I walked in and ate a burger. The burger was so sweet that I walked back in to get another one. It wasn’t that long before I had finished eating. I walked back out and could smell the sweet smell of perfume every where. I was starting to like this city more than my other city.

I suddenly walked over to the pizza shop (where I work) to start my day. When I took one step inside could see so many people inside already waiting for their pizza. Suddenly the boss frightened me with a big growl saying, “Get back to work!” While I was working, I could feel my body saying “Work faster, work faster.” When I finished working, I tidied up the place and ran outside to catch a taxi so I could get to the airport faster.

I made it there just in time for the plane. As got back I told my family and they were happy for me. It was fun in there.
