Earthquake Drill

Today we participated in the national shakeout drill. This took place around New Zealand at 1:30pm.  Our class is learning about natural disasters in New Zealand. Students are choosing their disaster, learning all about it and making an escape plan to keep themselves safe. This was great realtime learning for the students.

After the drill, Mrs Davan took us outside to show us where to go in case of a tsunami. Our school is very close to the beach, but luckily we have a big hill next to our school that we could climb up in the event of an emergency.
