Earlier I put a link to a fabulous classroom in the North Island who have been following us since the earthquake. Oops! It was the wrong link. Here is the new link to their awesome blog.
A wee while ago these Year 1 students asked us some questions. Here are our answers:
Dear Sienna,
My school is okay and I love being back at school.
From Phoebe.
Dear Rohan,
My Mum had to come into school the other day to get my bag. It was lucky because I had some books at home to read. My reading folder was still at school.
From Joshua.
Dear Krishant,
I wasn’t scared in the earthquake, but I was wondering if it was the end of the world. Yesterday we had lunch with our buddy class outside. Part of the fence fell down right beside us…but I thought it was funny!
From Madeline.
Dear Jack,
Thank you for writing. I think it is really cool that you had a Red and Black Day for us.
From Daniel.
Dear Kevin,
I was only a little bit scared in the earthquake. I am very brave.
From Cody
Dear Aryaan,
I did not see the tv because I was playing with Sophie while the adults were watching tv.
From Christian.
Dear Joshua and Gina,
I cried when I saw the buildings fall down too. My house is ok, but my cousin Shannon’s house is broken. He is staying with my family.
From Amelia.
Dear Orlando
We did not get any mud in our house, like lots of other people did. Our power went out for a little bit. My family and I went to Timaru to stay, to get away from the earthquakes.
From Robert.
Dear Jacey,
My car is okay. I have seen some cracks in the road by my place, but we can still drive over them. You must feel lucky to live in Auckland.
From Sophie.
Dear Bradie and Ashira,
I wasn’t too scared, but just a tiny bit scared. I was at school and it was lunchtime. My nana had to come and get me. We went to her place.
From Alura.
Point View School held their own Red and Black Day. They raised $3,333! How cool is that?
Hi Room 10
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful replies. What a horrible time you have had. We are really glad that you are back at school and enjoying it. Yes we do feel lucky to live in Auckland but are we very aware of what you have been through. And now we just can't believe our eyes when we see what has happened in poor Japan! Dykie's family are from Japan but thankfully his extended family are all safe.
I must say Room 3 were very excited to receive your replies!! I told them, we now have some special new friends in Christchurch. Now some of them are very concerned ... because they want to know how they going to play with you? Perhaps one day we could have a 'skype' playdate and get to know one another?
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Talk soon
Mrs Laburn
