Earthquake - Wellington

During the holidays there was a 6.5 earthquake in Wellington. When we got back to school we all wrote about what it was like to feel this big quake.

EARTHQUAKE!

Shudder, shudder what do I do?

Quick run, run under a door,

My heart is racing, it feels like

a stampede of Elephants.

AHHH!

6.5, wow that’s big.

I’m glad that’s over…

Shudder, shudder 

AFTER SHOCK!

EARTHQUAKE

I was tapping at a keyboard and then there was a sudden jolt. The computer went dead and I instinctively dived under my desk. I shook and shuddered on the ground. I heard the house creaking, threatening to fall down. It shook more violently than ever then it stopped altogether. I cautiously got out from under my desk. My legs were still shaking.

EARTHQUAKE

I was sitting on the couch when a loud noise of rumbling came from beneath me.

I acted wisely, I ran towards the coffee table .

Then I ducked down with my knees against my chest with my hands over my head.

I waited, then I shoved my head out to see if it was safe to come out.

I got out of my position and walked towards the kitchen.

Luckily nothing got damaged.

That was my frighting moment in a violent earthquake.

Earthquake

I felt the earthquake on Sunday. It was during the holidays’ when it happened. The computer started jiggling and the rail around the heater started rattling. I knew it was an earthquake because I saw my friends DVD case moving. We all moved under the doorway. The dog came and snuggled into me. It was terrifying when it was happening. I closed my eyes and blocked my ears so I didn’t hear or see it. It felt like big elephants stomping.

EARTHQUAKE POEM

Last Sunday there was an EARTHQUAKE.

It was so big it made me shake.

Then it smashed one of our plates.

Then my sister just had to faint.

After that we started to jiggle,

Suddenly we stared to wiggle.

Now that is the end of my poem see you soon.

Earthquake

I was reading a book. My brother was playing Lego. My mum was cooking dinner when suddenly the earthquake hit. I dived under the dining table, my brother following after me. We felt shaking & heard rattling. I saw a pen clatter to the ground. Mum joined us under the table. We all gripped the table hard. Then it stopped just as suddenly as it came. Mum checked if it was safe, she said “ its all right the earthquake has stopped “ So we all cautiously crawled out & went back to what we were doing.” Its ended “I thought “ for now “...

EARTHQUAKE!!

I was sitting on the couch watching TV, when suddenly I heard a sort of shaky noise then I

felt the shake. I quickly crawled under the table

and stayed under it . Since the TV was on, I

watched the TV from underneath the table. The

earthquake stopped and I went back on the

couch to watch TV.

EARTHQUAKE!!!      

        I felt a ‘’shake’’ then I worried. Then I heard a ‘’rumble’’, I jumped

         up, I saw our TV shake side to side, I ran to the door and stood in

          the door frame. I waited until it was over. I jumped back onto

     the couch and watched more TV.

EARTHQUAKE

The first earthquake was on Friday morning at 8:15 am. I was eating my breakfast with my mum and my brothers. When it was shaking I was sitting in front of TV. My body was shaking and the TV was shaking too. It was bit scary.

IS IT AN EARTHQUAKE?!

I was looking after my baby brother Max when all of

a sudden the telescope started to sway. Curious I

walked over to it. I tried to imagine why it was swaying,

then I felt the ground shaking, the answer popped into my head…earthquake!! I scooped up my brother and stood in the doorway. I felt the ground vibrate under my feet, I heard my dragon statutes shatter as soon as they hit the ground. After about 30 seconds the earthquake stopped.

My dad called and asked if we were OK, we were fine.
