Information to help us survive the next one.

Survival kits are needed for injured people

A good lesson learnt

Some homes are safe for people to go back home

The earthquake was 7.1 magnitude

Earthquake shook many lives

Roads have got cracks in them so they are closed

By Madison and Amy Matamata Primary School

**E**arthquakes happen every year.

**A**larms go on,

**R**umbling noises scared people,

**T**his time no one died.

**H**ouses are badly damaged

**Q**uakes affect many lives.

**U**nsafe places are closed,

**A**fter shocks continue,

**K**ids are scared.

**E**mergency kits are needed. //﻿By Mariam, Shirley Intermediate School// __ Richter Scale __ Roaring Earth

Irrelevant

Cracks in the ground

Hell breaks loose

Teetering houses

Earthquake!!!

Really need survival kits

Scary stuff

Christchurch hit

Aftershocks rolling in

Looters everywhere

Eternal it seems

By Flynn and Lachlan Matamata Primary School.

After shocks are always happening

Frightening thing to be in

Terrible thing to be in

Electricity going off

Richter scale changing

Shaking everywhere

Houses are falling

Officers helping people

Crumbling buildings

Kids staying away from school

By Kim and Brianne Matamata Primary School
