What's been in the news this week...

Last week in Nelson, there was a huge forest fire. It started on a farm with a machinery and then it caught the paddock on fire. 

It was also the the largest  forest fire since a blaze in Canterbury in 1955.

The fire wreaked havoc  in the area around Nelson as thousands of people had to be evacuated from their homes.

I think it must of been very scary for everyone and I am glad that no one got hurt.

  1. Hi Madisyn, this has definitely been a major news item over the last couple of weeks. I agree that it has been very sad for all of those involved. The firefighters worked so hard to save many people's homes from being destroyed. Are the fires out now? What precautions did people need to take to keep their homes safe?
