.New Zealand Giant Weta
By Christian Fa’avae

Introduction:
This writing will give you important  information about Giant Weta in New Zealand.Gaint Weta have lived in the world for more than 190 million years. They are one of the oldest animals in New Zealand.

Physical Features:
They look a little bit like a grasshopper. They have a hard exoskeleton and they are called minibeasts or invertebrates.I think they live longer than the tuatara.
Diet:
The wetas eat  gorse flowers and other insects and invertebrates that are smaller that themselves.
Habitat:
Most of the giant weta live in the Mahoenui Reserve. In this place the giant weta was safer from their other destroyed habitats.
Pretadors:
The Wetas’ main predator are rats because the wetas spiky legs can’t defend the Weta very well from the rats.
Main Threats:
The main threats for the Weta are fires that destroy their habitats.
Behaviours:
The Giant Weta is placid. That means that the giant weta is kind and gentle and other types of Wetas are aggressive.

Conclusion:
Did you know that the weta has lived for over 190 million years?  I think the Weta is one of the oldest insects in New Zealand.

The devastating fire in Australia

It was a very sad and devastating moment in Brisbane, Australia. There was a 2 story house which was completely on fire. It happened on Wednesday 12.00am. There were 11 people who died, eight of them were children and 3 of them were adults. After a few minutes the firefighters arrived but it was to late to save their lives.Families of the dead people gathered outside,hand in hand and crying. They were praying,singing the hymns and waiting around the scene.They were only 3 survivors, all of them are men. Families of the dead people were Samoans and Tongans. However the police are still investigating how the fire started. I believe that the house didn't have any fire alarm.  If there were a fire alarm in the house there would not be any dead.
