Running away cat...
There was an earthquake. A little girls cat has ran away because the earthquake scared it. The little girl wanted to run after the cat but her mum held her back and said "Darling be careful...I don't want you to get hurt."

Christchurch Earthquakes 5.8 & 6.0
I was just looking at the Father Xmas photos with my son, down at the mall, when the 5.8 struck! I had to do a Claude Van Dam...swoop my son up and run with glass shattering in front of me to take cover under the stair well. I think I need a new career...Liz Van Dam sounds good to me! I hope everyone is alright.  |
| After the 5.8 quake....I then tidied up and re-assembled the xmas tree. |

Thermals: Vulcan Steel
Today we got thermals they are awesome! They are black, some of the children from Room 8 got to have a photo altogether. Thank you Vulcan Steel who donated the money so 19 schools (on the eastern side of town), could get free thermals to stay warm.
Earthquake Website: JoJo's Place
'This website has been made for kids like you who have been in an earthquake. As you know, it’s scary being in an earthquake. At the moment, things are probably quite different to how they normally are. This website has lots of helpful stuff to look at and read. It might help you understand what is happening to you and how you can get through this tough time.'

Earthquakes: 5.6 & 6.3 Monday 13th June
My home is a river. My garage has water in it. We have power, but no water. A glass lid fell down by my fridge and I got water on my computer. Caleb
My brick wall fell on my roses. Those were my favourite roses. My cat was up the tree and Summer was upstairs. We built a hut under the table and my cat came in the hut. I wonder why? Nicky
Our lounge has visibly sunk, down from our living room. The cross beams in my roof are cracked. Our foundations are cracked and we already had to replace our piles, as they'd moved off them in the February earthquake, so we've moved off them more now. My brother and I helped to dig liquefaction. We helped the Mt Hut ski field people dig out some guys car, he'd just turned 92. Ryan B
When I got home I got to watch some Doctor who (A good man goes to war and the Curse of the black spot), so I could calm down from the aftershock. Then I got fed up, so I got up and the 6.3 happened. It started shaking and I thought that spaceships were out flying around, like the Darlic and Cyber ships... Seth
When the earthquake struck I thought that some small aftershocks would happen, but none happened. When I got picked up we went home. Then about 1 hour later a 6.3 hit and it was centred at Taylor's Mistake. There were heaps of little ones. I was so scared that I ran outside and went to the mail box. One minutes later all of the liquefaction came up. I didn't go inside again and we stayed at my Aunty's that night. That night there was a 4.7 at 3 am in the morning. Liam
On Monday there were big earthquakes. There was a 5.6 and a 6.3. We all got under a table and is was scary. My mum came and got me. My street was flooded and there was liquefaction everywhere . A couple of days later my mum and me went and got some gumboots. We got my sister some. My mum got black boots, my sister got leopard print boots and I got skulls. It was loud at the Warehouse. Jemma
On the way home from the 5.6 we were going to go and see my great Nana June, but the road was closed. We just went home and when we got out of the car and went inside, to see the damage, we saw that my jewellery box had fallen off my draws. It was broken and my TV had fallen down and had broken when the 6.3 hit. I was outside eating a cookie time and I ran inside to get my Mum, but she said to just go outside. I did then we moved my rabbit from the balcony to the ground my rabbits name is Roy. My cat went missing and her name is Missy. She has had over 20 babies, one named Baylie and one named Fatty. Kimiya
On Monday I was at home sick. I was laying on my bed sitting by the big window. I got up straight away and rang to get my Mum. I had liquefaction nearly come into my house and it was bubbling around the power pole. Jacob F

Earthquakes: 5.6 & 6.3 Monday 13th June
When the 5.6 happened the class went outdoors on the field. My Mum took quite a while to get to school. All of the streets were flooded. Our street has water from letter box to letter box. by Amelia
On Monday there was a earthquake, first there was a 5.6 and later on there was a 6.3. My uncle didn't feel the 5.6 because he was driving. He was wondering why some kids were getting picked up from school. Olivia
When the 6.3 happened my friend Anaian was at my house and we where watching a movie. Then the 6.3 happened and Anaian was hugging me. Gabbie
On Monday there was a big earthquake and we where all at school. I was going to do a fitting for my jacket, but the 5.6 happened so we went home. We stayed home and at 4 o clock we went to my Dad's house. He lives at the back of the airport and he had power and water. We didn't have to boil the water. We are staying there for a week. My Dad dropped us off at school today and he is picking us up. Yesterday we went to the airport and we had burger king for lunch. At the airport we had lots of fun. We played games, watched TV and I read a book. My Dad has a pool and spa pool, but we have not been in them yet because I didn't bring my togs. Demmy
When the 5.6 happened my brother and I were crying. I was with Mrs Douglas and I went under her desk and I was scared. Then my Mum picked me up from school. Amber-Rose
When I got home we went an talked to the neighbours. Then the 6.3 happened and Mum and I could barely stand up. Then I wanted to go home because there was lots of liquefaction pouring out the driveway. When we got there we looked outside and a truck was coming. It was on the right lane and then it went into a sink hole. The driver was ok. There was a guy on the footpath thinking he could go on the footpath and he was going about 10-15km and he said 'Hi,' to me and then he fell into a sink hole! Jacob L
When the 6.3 happened my friend was around at my house and we were both on the chairs next to each other, then we zoomed under the table. When that happened my Mum and her friend spilt their coffee all over the place. We had a pot hole from the Feb earthquake and all of the liquefaction came up our drive way and covered it! Neco
I was riding my scooter and when the 6.3 happened I fell off it and hurt myself. My Mum went to put the scooter away and there was another aftershock and I ran to the fence. Adam
When I got home and went inside everything was fine. When the 6.3 hit there was liquefaction and water all up my driveway. Nothing broke. Beth

Thanks for the Beanies - Marina View School
Thank you to Marina View School for our school beanies. I very surprised and I'll be wearing my beanie during the winter to school. Thank you so much!
Thank You
A huge thank you to Pak 'n Save in Sylvia Park, U-Pic Products of Dunedin and the Franklin Baptist Church from Pukekohe for our bumble bee box of goodies! We were so excited to take these home at the end of the day!
Beanies for Bedtime Project
'To promote the old idea of wearing a hat at night to help stay warm given that many homes are not as warm as they were pre earthquakes.'
Today we got a huge surprise. Ngarie and her friend came and gave us all beanies. We had got beanies because some of us might have very cold houses in the winter and some people might have houses that have no power. When we saw the hats we were very excited to try the beanies and our table was the third one to try the beanies. I chose one that was green, brown and red. Other people got blue and purple, but others were mostly red. There were labels on all of the beanies. Mine came from Sally of Redcliffs.
Thanks to all of the knitters who made the beanies we were given.
This is the places and knitters we got our beanies from:
Christchurch Methodist Parish, Sally of Redcliffs, Canterbury Can from Hawarden, Tauranga, Mrs McDonagh from New Plymouth, Chartwell Parish in Hamilton, Lois from New Brighton, Dunedin, Ann from Christchurch, Trinity Church Torbay Auckland, Gwen of Mairehau, Billy of Canterbury and Jan of Hamilton.
