Shake Out by Eli
At nine fifteen today the whole of New Zealand is practicing
if there’s an Earthquake. At Clive
School they’re going to ring the bell.
You have to drop, cover and hold.
And you hold your desk legs. If
you don’t practice you are never going to know what to do. Even John Key is going to do it! And you always have to protect your head and
neck. Earthquakes in New Zealand are
only little Earthquakes but in Napier in the 1930s there was a hugeeeeeeeeeee
one. All the buildings were damaged and lots of people were killed.

The WHOLE of New Zealand is doing a practice drill of the
pretend Earthquake called shake out. At
Clive School we hide under a desk and hold our grip so we can protect us. Ding, ding, ding, ding (the bells keeps
ringing) every body did the shake out.
The class understands the warning and just as the bell rang for the 8th
ding went under our desks. We hid for
one minute and then wheeeeeeeeoieeeeeeeooooiiiiiieeeeeeee. The Civil Defence quarters signal warns us
and Ms Petherick tells the class it is for after shocks and possible Tsunami.

At 9:15 the whole of New Zealand are practicing an
Earthquake drill. At Clive School
someone will ring the bell for a whole minute.
We have to drop, cover and hold!!!!!!!
You need to cover your neck and head.
We need to go under our desk and chair.
Your legs and feet go under your chair.
Outside I would go under a platform or go onto the court. If I was on the field I would go to the
middle of the field. If it as real you
would smell smoke and dust everywhere. It would be bad to be in a real
Earthquake.
