‘My story’-Jacob, 9, Addington School
Tuesday 22nd February. The earthquake hit at 12 51 pm I was at school. We heard helicopters at the time. We cared for each other when it hit. I didn’t like it. There was smoke in the air. It was bad. Everybody was crying at school. I was at the sandpit when it hit. I could hardly walk. It changed my life for ever and ever. Four boeing 747s 400 came in to rescue all of the people from the airport it was cool. We had no water or power. I didn’t like it when it hit because the cathedral fell down. It was bad.
