‘It was a EARTHQUAKE’-Jaye, 9, Addington School
On February 22nd at 12 51 pm I was around the rose garden with Raihana. We were just going to go around it again then the trees started swaying. I thought it was a big aftershock but it wasn’t it was a EARTHQUAKE. Raihana and I ran to the court and got into a turtle fast. When I got into a turtle I got down so fast and then I scratched my knee. Then after that Mr Leslie told us to sit in a line so he could call out the roll to make sure that everyone was there. There were a more little earthquakes after the big one. After that my Mum came to see me and Frances.
IT was a really scary time for us all, Jaye. You all did the right thing by getting down like turtles, it kept you all safe. Well done.
