Earthquake

At 4.35am Amine was awake and felt the earth quake 1rs't. My Uncle was looking arfter us. Amine shouted Uncle John! and that woke me up.I was worried about mum beacause she was at lincoln hospoital working. Mum was holding a Pakistani baby saying arn't you lucky your born in nz- 5minutes later... Ahhhh!!!! it's a earth quake. Me Amine and Uncle John got under the door way. When the earth quake stopped we got the radio and it said after shoks will be coming so we got under the door again. I was shaking and the most scared. Lot's of after shoks came after the earth quake and are still going!!! . It was the most scariest thing i've been in.

Olivia Bs Earthquake Weekend

When the earthquake came I felt scared because the bed was moving and the door was slamming. I didn't know what it was. Granny tried to save me and she hurt her leg on the wall.
I have two dogs Austin and Winnie. They were not scared but Austin is scared of the wind more than the earthquake.

Hi Team 17

My name is JD. I live with Sheena.

This is my sad and worried face. Normally I don't look so worried. Usually I'm a very happy and excited dog. Over the past few days I've been really scared. On Saturday and Sunday whenever the ground shook I thought the best thing to do was to run and hide in my kennel. I thought that would make everything stop. Yesterday and today every time there is a rumble I have to make sure I see my family. I bark a lot to let them know I'm scared. I feel a lot better when I'm with my family and they tell me it's going to be okay. The good part about the earthquake is that nobody has to go to school or work and they're all home together. I like when everyone is home. We also have a fish pond with 5 goldfish, but unfortunately one of them didn't survive the earthquake. I think he was terrified and he jumped out of the pond because we found him on the grass in the morning. It was sad. Do any of you have pets? How are they doing with all the shaking?

From,

JD

Earthquake poem

Iam awake in my bed,when suddenly there goes a rumble,tumble,crash,bang ITS AN EARTHQUAKE.Mum told me to get under my bed.I got under my bed when it stopped.
I go down the hall and pull out the chiars from the table and put what we want to do if theres anther quake under the table.The power goes off and the alarm goes 'beep beep beep".Then the power goes on again.but all of it was just a shake

Earthquake

In the weekend there was a huge earthquake and it was as strong as 7.1. Our house wasn't damage but my friends chimney fell down and no one was hurt. At my grans house there was a weird thing called liquefaction. Liquefaction is when soil turns into heavy liquid when the earth shakes. I felt so scared and terrified because of the aftershocks.

On Saturday

there was a Earthquake.

Are pool got really damaged in the Earthquake.

I slept in Mum and Dads bedroom.

I cried allot.

It was a very bumpy ride

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.

When it happened mum woke me up with excitement.The house was shaking like mad.

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.

Earthquake

In the Earthquake I hid under the dining room table with my brother and dog. Scarlet got to sleep on my mum’s bed. You have to boil your water before you drink it.

How does an earthquake start?

Movements of the giant tectonic plates that form the earth’s crust cause earthquakes.
