I sit on the field with one shoe on and one shoe off crying for my family my friends comfort me as after shocks rock our school, silt and cracks surrounding us.

Just after lunch on Tuesday, I walked out of class and down the path to the library and pushed open the door. The library was quiet and nobody was there, not even the librarian, “She must be in the other room”, I thought. I walked over to the chapter book section and started to browse […]

I am just looking for another good book when suddenly the library starts rocking side to side. All you hear is screaming and teachers trying to calm others down. It felt like a 8.0 but it wasn’t. I was under the doorway with at least 6 others. We went back to class and there was […]

We were at the pool upstairs, waiting for our turn to hop into the pool the teacher finally told us to go down stairs and get changed. We were jumping down the stairs when I heard a rumbling and felt shaking. I turned around to tell the boys in my class to stop shaking the […]

Last Tuesday during lunch time all of the girls in my class were inside getting changed for sport after lunch we were in the class room that was about 10 feet away from the catholic basilica then the class room was shaking like crazy it was 10 times more scarier than the 7.1. We were […]

On Tuesday it was our fish & chip day at school just as I was finishing my lunch a 6.3 earthquake struck. It was the second in 1 year.

My name is Sarah and this is my story about my shaky time. On Tuesday it was very scary. My friends were very scared too. I just wanted to cuddle mum and dad and see my cat Lucy. When I saw Lucy she was hiding under the couch. She is getting better now too

On Tuesday at lunchtime there was another strong, strong earthquake. It felt much bigger than the last big big one. I was inside playing and it went off, like a loud bang. I felt REALLY scared, I hope there’s not another one.

At school I was playing at lunchtime and everything started moving. It was really scary and all my friends were scared. My teacher was very nice and made us all happy again.

It started with a wobbly earthquake. It was the first earthquake I have ever felt. It wobbled and jiggled and shook my hands. I felt I was in a deep dark moving cave. I thought it was a dream so I closed my eyes and opened them again, but it wasn’t a dream! It was […]
