Disaster Day

Today is a special day because it is Disaster Day. A real disaster is when there is a tsunami, an earthquake, a volcano erupts or a tornado spins around. We have a plan if this happens at Pt England.

I’m feeling excited and scared because it is disaster day. I feel happy because it is the most exciting day we have had. I am going to be very scared because it is going to shake. Just now there was a shake and we all got under the table. I got under the table. It was all quashed in there. It was scary! I felt a bit sick and nervous. I felt hunted. When the bleep went Mrs Maude could not get under the table because she was really big so we told her to get under a door frame. The bleep rang and we all had to get under a table. Then the bleep rang again and we got under the table again and then we watched the movie . The first shake was at 9.30 then the second shake was at 10.30. When the first bell rang we started reading in our reading groups. Suddenly we heard the second shake. It was a special announcement on PENN telling us what was happening out in the harbour. After the announcement we went back to reading. Lucky we weren’t dead.

Building Report

Room 8 visited the building site to see what progress had been made with the building project. Read Kashya's progress report.



This morning we went for a walk to see the super duper Dental Clinic. It was different because the builders put the floor on. I saw the floor half done.
Then we went to the hall and I saw a man with a broom. He was in the hall sweeping. I saw an electric pump. The man told us that the pump was getting the water out. I could hear the pump, pump, pumping.

My Weekend News

Guess what I had a restful weekend!! On Monday it was the Queen' s birthday. She turned 81 years old and that is really old.

On her birthday we thought we can do something that we haven't done for ages. We went to see Kassie's baby. He was born on Thursday. We couldn't see him for ages because he had to go to hospital while me, my Mum and my brother Lee had to look after the house.

After that we got bored and hungry so my Mum made us some sausage rolls to eat.

Next we went back home.
I said,"it is good to be home".

Is That an Earthquake?

I heard a story about earthquakes.

In the beginning my favourite part is when the twins were on their bed and they were shaking the house. It was not an earthquake.

Is that an earthquake?
No that's Dad snoring.

Is that an earthquake?
Yes that is an earthquake.
"Hurry get under the table", said Dad and the kids got under the table.

Then when the earthquake stopped the kid was still shaking. He was scared.

Pt England School Building and Alterations 2010

Report No 2

We went for a stroll to have a look at the Super Dental Clinic and the Hall alterations. By the time we got there it was spitting and we had to come back so fast.It was cold outside! Then we walked to the tunnel where there was no rain coming down.

We asked a builder some questions and he answered us back . The question we asked him was why was he sweeping the water in the trough away with the broom that he was holding? The water had been high before we went there. It became small because an electrc pump had pumped the water away. The water had risen with the high tide!

We quickly came back to class because it was still spitting so much.

Layquita's letter

Dear Mrs Tuala,

I've got lots of things to tell you!

I can't wait for you to come back to Point England.  But I am very sad because you are coming back in November.

How is your baby and what is your baby like? Is it a girl or boy, because I like baby girls. I very miss you so much. My mum also wanted to know how your baby is. Is it going to be born on Sunday? My mum said she misses you very much and she said "What is it's name?"  She asked if it is a beautiful name. It will be cute to show the baby at school.

Love Layquita.
