You described what happened very well and I could picture in my mind what you were doing. There sounds like there is heaps of mud in Cnristchurch now. Do you know where they take it to dump it. Our son is in Japan. They have a had huge eartquake and tsunami over there. He is alright but has to carry some food, water bottles and a torch around with him all the time. They keep their TV on the floor because it falls off the coffee table with the aftershocks. They are experiencing lots of aftershocks like you are having in Christchurch but I don’t think they have the liquefaction like you do.
Thanks very much for letting me read you story and I’m sure your Mum was very happy to be in Hamilton with Grandma so she could use her toilet. Good bye. From Sue

I enjoyed having you to stay with me and now you are home I hope there is not too much more cleaning up to do.

Please help Mum and keep Rory safe.

Love,
Grandma

Phew! One minute eating lunch then next minute all curled up, you certainly are a very fast thinking person…thank goodness.

It is hardly surprising that lots of people were crying, I think I would have done so too, and I am an adult.

The field was a good place to go where the teachers could look after you. It does sound as though it was pretty messy though.

Did you get some big hugs when Mum came to pick you up?

It sounds very interesting that you had so many people at your house, but very annoying not having power.

Well, I have to say your Dad’s toilet design sounds fascinating, he sounds very clever and resourceful and now he has to make something to keep the helicopters away!

It must be lovely to be away at Grandma’s for a time and soon enough you will be back home and at school with lots of work to do.

You are amazing and brave all rolled into one, not many of us get the chance to be that. And I hope your family, friends and school recover well and soon.

Take care, from Ella in Auckland.
