Amazing circle of life - The web

Name: Peliasi
Date: September the 18th

Water, air, light and energy were the main things that made life happen. Life started with micros and 425 million years ago marines moved from sea to land to start a new life, Vegetation covered the earth. Over a million years animals started to develop and get stronger and the earth was tremendously fine.

Most creatures became predators, pests and enemies and they started feeding on other animals but that was the only way to survive. Different species evolved to protect themselves and started thinking about strategies to hide themselves from being killed by other animals. 

Species lower in the food chain breed more and produce more often and it gives them a higher chance of surviving and not becoming endangered and they create a big population of animals.

Humans came into the world and started killing the world by destroying rainforests, animals, trees and important things that produce homes and lives for creatures.  In 30 years scientists say that animals will go extinct and humans will suffer without meat. We should change our lives and start thinking about who's around us.

START WRITING:
In Tonga Im in a very very small island called Ha'afeva, We are cutting taro leaves to make (Lu sipi) early in the morning and I'm with my cousin and he’s helping me prepare for our big feast, Im at home chopping taro leaves.

The first food I tried was Lu sipi and it's wrapped in taro leaves and there's meat that's from lamb and coconut milk. The taste was fine, it needed a little more salt. Also it was nice and soft. It just melted in my mouth. The meat was delicious.

Then we had otai but it's a drink with watermelon and crackers. It's very delicious. The flavour is so good the texture of the fruits are nice and it's big chunks.

Our final dish was so nice it was called keke and it's almost like donut but without cream. It's soft, brown, crunchy and delicious and it's very oily but still good to eat!

It was amazing food and I really wanna go again!!


How does a fly walk upside down?

How do flies walk upside down?
They can do this because of their sticky feet.
A fly has foot pads that are covered in tacky glue which makes them stick on upside down or sideways.
To unstick their feet so they can walk anywhere, the fly uses tiny foot claws to push or twist themselves away.
