Reflections about the earthquake

On Friday there was an earthquake. We were in the library. We knew it was an earthquake because the ground was shaking and our teacher called out, "Earthquake". We all dropped, covered and held onto the table legs.

We lined up quietly at the door, and we walked to the court. The teachers called out our names to see if everyone was there, and alright. We waited for our mums to come and pick us up.

We weren't frightened or scared because we knew what to do, because we have been practising and having drills. Our teachers were proud of us all.

There was another earthquake when everyone was at home. We saw the lights moving in our house.
