Jacob, 7, Addington School
I was at school when the big earthquake happened. I was brave but other kids were scared for a long time until their mums came to pick them up. My mum did not come but my mum asked her friend to come and pick me up.

Sounds like you were very brave Jacob!!
You were very brave Jacob, especially when other people around you are scared.
Well done Jacob for being so brave!
