In the weekend we had an earthquake. It scared me. It wobbled the table. I didn’t like the earthquake because they are scary.

I didn’t like the earthquake because I was scared. My sister was scared too.

I was in my bed and the earthquake started and I couldn’t see and I ran to my mum’s and Dad’s bedroom. I held my Mum and Dad’s hand. My Dad looked around and me and my Mum stayed in bed. It was scary. Dad blocked me so I didn’t fall out. My cat doesn’t […]

In the earthquake my bed fell over on to the side. I fell on to my side. It was still shaking. I liked the earthquake because I thought I was in a race car match when the second one hit.

Early Saturday morning we had an earthquake.  It woke up a lot of people.  Some people slept through the whole thing.  I got a huge fright and so did other people.

On Saturday there was a huge earthquake at 4.35 in the morning. We were at Cholmondeley in Governor’s Bay. It was quite bad in Governor’s Bay and some people were very scared. Some were not. We all went under our beds and then into the hallway but one person nearly slept right through it. But […]

“Mum! Mum!” I shouted.  I screamed as hard as I could until my mum came into my room.  I burst into tears because it gave me a big shock.  “Mum!” I screamed again.  Mum came rushing in and asked if I was ok.  Mum told me to go to Hannah, my sister’s room until I […]

It was Saturday morning.  At 4.35am on the 4th September.   My bunk bed started to shake.  At first I thought it was my sister moving around but then it started to get stronger.  After it had finished my Dad tried to figure out what it was.  He thought it was a tsunami because the […]

Everything was dark.  I had just woken up from the noise of my bird going mad and mum shouting “Get under your bed! It’s an earthquake!” But there were draws under our beds. We ran outside onto the patio, too scared to go back into the house in case the swimming pool became a sink […]

On the weekend it was Olivia’s birthday. We had lots of fun, the first game we played was ‘Hands Up” and then we played a really fun game and I rang Jade and said: Can you come over now?” “Yes” so Jade was at last here and now it is the best part: the food, […]

The whole of Christchurch was shaken at 4.35 am at night breaking everything from chimneys and buildings. My dad even tried to get upstairs to Briana and me, but he didn’t succeed, he kept falling over. The only thing that didn’t break was a picture of Briana and my dad’s bike. I was in my […]

In the weekend there was an earthquake. It was scary. When the earthquake struck my mum got me out of bed. I got dressed, so did my dad and my mum, then we went into the living room. My dad found the gas cooker, he lit it, we all had a drink, we stayed up […]

In the earthquake glass fell on the ground, my brother woke me up. My mum yelled out to me, and then my dad got the lantern.

On Saturday when the earthquake happened I shouted “help”. Lots of things were falling. “Crack! Bang, bang, bang!” Then Billy came into our room and we went into dad’s bed. He brought the radio up. After awhile I went to sleep. A few days later me and Billy made a hideout under his table. It […]

On Saturday there was an earthquake. I was snoring away and there was a big noise like this: boom! Bam! Crash! Crack! Bang! Our dog, Chester, was howling. My mum had to drag me out of bed, it was very frightening. We went in the doorway, and then we went in our mum and dad’s […]

On Saturday a big earthquake came, it was very scary because it was my first earthquake. At first I thought my dad was shaking my bed, and then I saw no one was shaking my bed. Suddenly I heard my voice calling for mum and dad, my brother did the same. Mum and dad came […]

Not last Saturday but the Saturday before, there was an earthquake. It was scary, I didn’t like it. Dad said “Are you o.k.?” I said “I’m fine” he said “good”. Then we went downstairs, it was really messy. Cheryl had a torch. I said “It is so messy”. Dad said “there is lots of broken […]
