"Shakeout" Day

National Shakeout Day was time to practise what to do in the event of an earthquake.  It provided us with a topic to write about and Kamryn wrote a story about what we had to remember to do.

"In the Shakeout practice when the funny noise played on the speaker we had to drop, cover and hold.  An earthquake is like something shaking on the ground and we got under the table because we need to get down under cover and hold on to the table." By Kamryn

We also thought about what to do if we were outside so we practised what "Drop and Cover" would be like outside.  We quickly moved away from the buildings into the middle of the field dropped down and covered our heads.  Room 16
