Thank you for writing your piece about the earthquake. It sounds very big and frightening for you all there.

I am in Auckland and have seen pictures on the tv but that is not the same as being there. I would feel a bit scared and I am an adult.

I hope that the earthquakes stop now and you can settle down to a quieter time.

Your teacher looked after you well and made sure you were safe, that’s good.

I hope your family are well too, please say ‘hello’ to them from me.

Take good care of yourself, you are now a Canterbury Champion!
