   I think the tsunami in Japan is the worse tsunami in Japan.
In Japan there was some broken objects like cars,boats and trees.The pedestrians feel upset for their houses.When the people saw the tsunami people were terrified of the tsunami because it’s destroying the pedestrians,cars,trees,boats and houses.The tsunami looks like a lot of water around Japan.

Tsunami Description

Hello this the news. It’s the afternoon in Japan.All the houses are clashing.People are wanting vengeance on the tsunami like a mob breaking into a castle. The houses falling,people running and screaming.

The water is surging through the objects like a gladiator that’s unstoppable.Water climbing on the houses.People feel heartbroken, and mothers brave for their children.Some children were screaming and crying like something has just come and taken homes from people.It is like a war between the earth and water.

I can feel the fear of screams everywhere.The power lines were collapsing over the water and they are sinking down into the water.The water is now climbing into the pedestrians’ shoes.  It Is catastrophic. The water’s crashing,the buildings clashing and people are now crying.Water is surging through buildings.

The force of nature is a tragedy.The tsunami has caused critical damage to objects in it’s path. This is terrifying. People are running further up the buildings,some even climbing up. The houses are fighting off the waves.Some people are feeling that their families are broken up. People can hear the crunch of rubble.This place looks like a catastrophe and destruction.

Layers of the Earth

We were learning to make a model of the layers of the earth out of play-dough.

So...that when we learn about natural disasters we can use our knowledge of the layers to understand them better

To... help us in topic and science and learn about the world around us.

Did you know, the crust is made out of 7 tectonic plates which contains continents and seas of the earth?  The crust is 15-75 km thick.

The mantle is made up by the upper mantle and the lower mantle.  The upper mantle is 400km thick and contains iron and magnesium silicates.  The lower mantle is 2300km thick and is more dense than the upper mantle.

The outer core is 2300 km thick.  It contains iron, nickel and sulphur and is made up from liquid.

The inner core is 1220 km thick and is solid.  It contains iron, nickel and sulphur.  The temperature can reach up to 6650 degrees celcius!
