On the 26/9 at 9:26am, there was a nationwide earthquake drill, which over a million people from all around the country took part in. We have been practicing all week, as well as learning about earthquakes and earthquake safety.
We have learnt what we
should do if there is an earthquake – STOP, DROP, COVER & HOLD! We have also learnt about the sorts of things
you might need after a big earthquake if there is no power or water for a few
days, and made some posters about these.
We wrote some descriptive acrostic poems about earthquakes too.

Rough and

Tight and
strong like a dragon
Hold on

Unstoppable

Eat dry
food like nuts and water
