Tsunami alert

 We were doing research on tsunamis when a big bell went off, it was short but did not stop. When we heard the bell we hurried under the tables and curled up into a ball. We practised holding our heads and table legs  because we would have two do that in a real earthquake drill.  Jakob R and I were playing chopsticks because we were bored. After that we lined up at the door and carefully walked outside following the teacher. The whole school was like a stamp peed of antelopes. The whole school met at the front of the school and started to walk. We were walking to Beetham rest home because that is our school's safe zone. We went over the tall bridge with yukkie brown water underneath. I was thinking to myself why where we were walking over a bridge in a tsunami. It was a bit silly. But then Mrs Tilly told us that the water  wouldn't rise up this far in time, and that we have 10 minutes to get over the bridge. 

 Because we would probably be running in a real one. It was a really long walk.


On the way we saw some gigantic cows and bull’s we only saw one bull. But also on the farm they had two little baby's which are called calves. They had giant horns with big bellies. They were definitely the biggest cow’s I have seen. There was a big hill we had to walk up but at the end we were all fine. There were some old people waving at us from their apartments.


Once we stopped at the spot we all sat down and waited for Matua Aiden to call our names. The grass was very annoying. We started two play chopsticks again. There were four buses. They were really big. The seats were different, and my brother's class was in it too. Once we got to school it was morning tea time.
