Earthquake stories.

Last Thursday the whole school participated in shakeout day which was a New Zealand wide event.  We did drop, cover and hold.  Then we evacuated onto the field.  Everybody participated well and demonstrated they knew what to do!  Well done!  Prior to Thursday we found out what causes an earthquake.  Here are some of our stories.

Earthquake stories from room 18.

Azal

The earthquake is rattling and wobbling and the tectonic plates move apart.  The buildings move, the ground shakes.  That is how the earthquake comes.  It can crack our houses.  Earthquakes are everywhere.

Yohaan

An earthquake is when the tectonic plate moves apart.  When tectonic plates move apart the the earth shakes.  Buildings move when earthquakes happen and doors wobble.

Keng Shen

An earthquake is when the tectonic plates move apart.  The earthquake makes bridges break and the road makes big cracks.  Earthquakes break houses.

Zarar

An earthquake is when the earth shakes.  Plates move apart.  Buildings move.

Aayushi

The earthquake is when the earth is shaking.  It is when the tectonic plates move.

Eric

An earthquake is when the ground shakes and the ground cracks.

Kavin

An earthquake is when the ground moves.  It is when the tectonic plates move and it looks like a puzzle.  When an earthquake happens the ground shakes.
