‘When the earthquake happened’-Morgan, 6, Wairakei School
Well I was outside by Kate in front of Kate’s lunch area 4 min’s later I felt a shake I got in to the turtle position, i felt very scared and i was shaking i called out for help, and Mr Lynch came he took me to the library teacher then that teacher took me too my room teacher and shar came along and took me to kate, then we went into the hall. 5 min’s later we felt another shake so we were taken to the field where we waited for the parents. mrs N saw me her face looked like she was crying, i was upset because i wanted my Tiger.
Kia ora Morgan
Thank you for telling your story on this website. It helps us people who are not in Canterbury to know what is going on.
You have had a hard time with the big earthquake shaking you about, and I would feel scared too if I had been there and I am an adult.
Your teachers sound very kind and they looked after you very well before your parents came to pick you up.
I am sure you were happy to see them. Look after yourself Morgan and remember many, many people all over the world are thinking of you.
