Back at school!

It was a fabulous day back at school today. 21 out of 23 students returned with big smiles. We hope Sadie and Te Aroha will join us tomorrow?

At writing time today we wrote about our earthquake experiences. Here are some examples.

Madeline wrote "I was eating lunch when the earthquake happened. It was really scary. I went to the field. People were crying. Everything was wrong!".














Luke wrote "When the earthquake came I was very lucky. We had water and electricity and our house didn't come down".





Caitlyn wrote "Last night we had a aftershock. 3 bricks fell off the roof. I stayed in the lounge for a wee bit and then we went to bed".














Alura wrote "I helped Nana. Her house is not safe".
















We had a super day...even with the 4.1 aftershock at lunchtime!

A big super thank you to Christian and his family. They gave everyone in Room 10 a Pinky Bar. Thank you!

Don't forget to bring your boiled water to school tomorrow.

  1. How fantastic that you are back at school Room 10. We were about to ask how many students you have in your class, but now we know. We hope are all enjoying your day.
