Major earthquake!

Have you ever been in an earthquake? Well if you have then you will have had a bad experience .  If you haven’t, then you don’t know what it feels like.

It’s just so sad for the people who need help but there is no one to help them. Hundreds and thousands of people have died in the past few years because of earthquakes.

Why do earthquakes happen? Well I know it’s something to do with plates moving. No, not dinner plates, the rock plates inside our earth. I wish that nothing bad would happen to anyone because it’s just too sad. Earthquakes shouldn’t happen at all then everyone would be safe and sound.

Earthquakes have struck a few times in New Zealand, but mostly in Christchurch.
There has never been a major earthquake in Auckland, but I am sure an earthquake will come, unexpectedly.

Have you practiced an earthquake drill before? Well Glen Innes School has; so if an earthquake happens we all know what to do.
Do you know?  It’s Drop, cover and hold. So if you are in an earthquake remember these three things you should do.

Just remember DROP, COVER AND HOLD!
