Christchurch is Crumbling!
On the day of the earthquake I was sitting at a table eating my yummy bun and the table started to shake. Then our teacher Mrs Mellish shouted “DROP!” so I shoved the chair out of my way and slid under the table as quick as I could. Once I was under the table I could hear rumbling noises as well as I could see our class table rattle with fear. But I knew I was with my friends because I could smell them. I made sure I was clasped onto the table leg just in case a light or something fell onto me I would die or get badly injured. When the earthquake had all gone away we had to walk out in two neat straight lines onto the grassy field. Then the teachers would read out our names from the roll. When your name was called out you would have to sit onto the wet patchy ground. Once we were all back to normal in our classes eating the last of our lunch I decided I would eat under the table and lucky I did because after that another quake struck the school. I started crying because I missed my guinea pigs. Daisy and Neve were sad too, they are my friends. Daisy missed her animals and Neve was scared. But I had one friend that was kind and caring to me and Neve, that is Mackenzie. Miss Dolamore said I could go to Linda, another teacher, so I went with Linda. Linda was in the office near the friendship seat with some toys and pillows. There were some other kids there too.
Alison, our librarian, organised us to go to the library where we watched Tinkerbell.I didn’t watch Tinkerbell, I did some sketching. I wondered when mum would come because Mr V said he would ring. Finally Mum came so I asked her to check my guinea pigs. Happily she accepted my question and checked. When she came back she said they were all right, I was certain that was true. I decided to draw, not watch Tinkerbell. I soon became bored of drawing so we went to the classroom to pack my bag. Once that was done the bell rang and mum picked me up with Daisy and Katelyn. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!
