A Big Earthquake!-Celia, 8, Harewood School
On Tuesday 22nd of February 2011, the 6.3 earthquake hit. I was very scared it was a very frightening experience at school.
The teachers were comforting the school students and that made me feel safe and not scared anymore. I am so
glad my friends, teachers and family are all safe.
Hi Celia
I have to say I agree with you that you are glad all you friends, teachers and family are all safe.
It was a big earthquake and a lot of people were quite scared, under those circumstances that is not surprising.
You have lovely teachers that were able to comfort you and make you feel safe and I am sure you were pleased to get to see your family again very quickly.
Take care of yourself Celia, there are many prayers and thoughts for you all, I am thinking of you too.

Hello Celia,
I am glad you and your friends and family are all safe. Rosie is staying with her Gran & Grandpa in Alexandra but will be home soon. I know she is looking forward to playing with you again.

Hi Celia,
I can’t wait to see you all again tomorrow. It will be nice to be back at school with all your friends again. I am glad that we made you feel so safe.

I am glad that the teachers helped you feel safe. I am pleased all of your family and friends are safe and well.
Celia – wow you should be proud of yourself and all your teachers and school. They certainly kept you very safe and you did all the right things. I think you would have been pleased to see Mum or Dad. Well done
