Our earthquake stories

I was on the field when the earthquake happened. The whole ground shook. I was scared and then Mum came and then Sandi, my nanny, came with Natalia. Then we ran as fast as we could to Sandi’s car. When we went home I stayed with my Mum and then my Poppa and Dad came in a truck. I went to Tinwald school in Ashburton. My teachers name was Mrs Kircher. I am glad I am back with Mrs Derrick. She is my favourite teacher.
