While the sun was just rising, a big truck rolled in.

When sledge hammers, gas masks, crow bars and a digger were unloaded the men began to work.

Then they attacked the old room 12 like wild dogs, tearing the walls apart.

They had to be careful because there was asbestos in the roof.

I think they should have used the class for something else.

I wonder what they will turn that big empty space into…

Water was flying in every direction then I was plummeting downwards. The rough rock I was holding rubbed against my arms. The freezing water stiffening, numbing and chilling swarmed round me. Thud! I hit the bottom, dropped my rock and pushed with all my might. Water rushed passed me as I propelled myself upwards, hitting the surface and greedily gulping down air. With a new source of energy, I sped to the side, grabbed another rock and excitedly announced “Time for take 2!”Hopping across the rocks like a frog I passed Gerald and Alison catching up with Rhett. 1 2 3 jump.

Earthquake.

When:

The Hawkes Bay earthquake happened in 1931 at 10.47 am on Tuesday the 3 rd of February.

Where:

It was centred 15 km north of Napier.

Who was affected:

Thousands of people were injured and over 400 put in hospital.

Unfortunately 256 people died and it is New Zealand’s most deadly natural disaster.

What was it like:

It lasted 2 and half minutes and measured a magnitude of 7.8Ms.

In the next two weeks there were 525 aftershocks.

What happened:

The coastal areas round Hawkes Bay got lifted over two metres and 40 km of sea bed became dry land.

Most of the buildings in the centre of Napier were flattened.

Lots of the buildings were rebuilt in the art deco style In an olden day museum, set upon an old wooden bench, is a machine metal, black and covered in patterns, like a golden grape vine. No electricity just a handle that you turn. If only I had one then all the rips in my clothes would be fixed.media type="custom" key="20665659"

At school we have been doing experiments so far my favourite experiment was the one where we flicked a small cube with a pen and ceped a chart on how far they went then we figured out an average.

‘Toot toot ‘’ (bang) I’m up, I’m dressed, I’m walking out the door and walking over to the ute.(small child excited, ready for hunting) Me, my brother Rhett and Gerald are off bumping along old unmapped roads, climbing hills and skidding round corners.

Finally ‘after the most awesome ride of my life’’ we arrive at a small car park. Backpacks on, boots tight and we’re off. (most of us unaware of what’s around the next corner) uh oh. A massive hill awaits us.

Eventually a hut comes into sight, it’s the most beautiful hut ever. Fire lit, tea cooking and route planning in progress. Hunting time. Halve an hour later we’re on the ridge glassing the slopes around. (know body expects what’s through the bushes). ‘Oh yea’’. Two hundred metres of pure, untouched shingle slope, waiting to be slid on.321

By nightfall we were back in the hut sipping my secret bush tea. It’s great. (young boy eventually falls asleep)
