Earthquake

Hi everyone. Most of you have felt an earthquake for the first time now. It was a bit scary wasn't it? We have spoken to your parents on the phone and they have told us about how brave you have been since the earthquake last Saturday. Well done everyone. We thought it might be good for you to write down how you felt about the earthquake on the blog. This is what it was like for me...
I woke up and knew straight away that there was an earthquake, because I've felt one before. I leaped out of bed and told Mr Brownlie to get up too, but he was still half asleep and didn't believe that there was really an earthquake! After a couple of seconds, he realised I was right and he jumped out of bed to help with our children! Oscar and Elliot, my 2 big boys who sleep upstairs came down the stairs and met us in the hall. I had to wake up Michael, my 5 year old, because amazingly he was sleeping through the earthquake! My family then all gathered together in the dining room after the earthquake. We waited for a while under our dining table until we felt safe again. We talked about how important it was to 'drop, cover and hold' if we felt another shake.
We all slept together in the same room for a couple of nights after the earthquake but now my boys are happy to be back in their own rooms - and we are all getting a lot more sleep!!

I hope that you are all looking forward to going back to school tomorrow. We can't wait to see you all again.
Take care,
From Mrs Brownlie
