The earthquake was big enough.

It had made a hole in the roof and made liquefaction all round.

The yucky liquefaction is rising.

A scary crack in my room falling apart.

The the violent earthquake shaking.

The Sticky liquefaction started moving like a landslide.

I was scared like my sister with tears as we cried.

My little red heart beating fast as light.

Laura’s Mum can contact her if plans change.” I put a candle on one of the cupcakes and sang happy birthday. After I gave Maddy a present for her 12 year old birthday. We played our favorite songs.

In the holidays, I watched TV shows as well as movies like The Thinning, The Lego Batman Movie, Transformers The Last Night, Regular Show and more. When it is Sunday we play touch or football in Invercargill. We talked to my Mum in the Philippines because we wanted to know how she is doing. I played some NBA 2K17 plus basketball. And we had to clean the house. However it was still very very boring having no friends over.

First Aid DLO

After our session with Felicia from St John's in Schools we realised we had learnt a lot. We thought...how can we share what we have learnt? So we brainstormed lots of ideas for each scene from making movies to presentations to art projects. Eventually we split into groups and decided what we want to create. My group was Flynn Carlyn and I and we decided to create a movie to share our learning.

The Crash

When the plane slowly lifted, I was sweating like in a Cross Country race. After two hours, the plane had this violent shake. The light suddenly switched off. A Pilot said “Mayday! Mayday!” Crash! I gently opened my eyes. I saw: Water Dripping, trees and dead bodies. I walked slowly thinking what is happening. “This is a dream.” I said. Now what do I need? I looked for equipments. I found an axe. I chopped wood like a beaver. I started to hunt for food but it looked like I was the only living creature on the island. Will I survive.
