Earthquake

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the tectonic plates; these are like giant jigsaw pieces that make up the earths crust.

In the earthquake I hid under the table with my sister it was so scary but I knew I would be safe with my mum.

  1. When I was at my Dads at some vases fell over and broke. They were Anne's favourite ones. There were big fissures in Dads street and the house got cracks. I was scared and I still am scared but I know I am safe with my mum and we are all sleeping in Mums room. I want it to stop now because its scary.

  2. Hey Ben,

    Hope you're not feeling too scared anymore. A friend of mine showed me an interesting Lego thing the other day... remind me to show you on Monday.

  3. Would be scary,I have never been in one. Being together is really important. Geoff and I are off to Australia today so will keep an eye on the news. We are all thinking of you.

  4. Hi Ben,

    I'm glad to hear that you made it safe through the earthquake and that your house has managed to escape a lot of the damage that other houses have had. I see you've done a bit of research on what causes earthquakes, this is definately a good opportunity to learn about them. What's it like not being able to go to school?

    Love,
    Anita
