Wildfires in Greece

30/07/18

At least 50 people are feared dead in wildfires burning in Greece. The fires have hit the Attica region around Athens, the capital of Greece.

It is Greece’s worst fire crisis in more than a decade.

As part of a huge rescue effort, emergency workers used boats and helicopters to evacuate a beach.

“We will do whatever is humanly possible to control it,” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told reporters.

Tsipras has declared a state of emergency in Attica, saying “all emergency forces” had been mobilised.

His government has asked other European countries for helicopters and additional firefighters to help tackle the fires.

Italy, Germany, Poland and France have all sent help in the form of planes, vehicles and firefighters.

Kids safe with dogs

Yesterday room ten and room nine went to the hall to learn kids safe with dogs and it was fun with room nine. When room ten and room nine went into the hall and sat down before we came in. When I sat down I got ready to listen to Nick and Michael about dog safety. I was very nervous when I saw the dogs because they look big and I thought the dogs will bight me and my friend too. After I thought The dog was going to bight me and my friends. I was standing like a tree because if a dog come's to me and I was not like a tree I might get bitten from the dog and it's good too.
