26/9 Shakeout at 9:26am

Today was New Zealand Shakeout Day where lots of school children like us and adults at work took part in a massive earthquake drill.  When the clock said 9:26am the bell rang three times to tell us that the 'fake' earthquake had started. 

We had to quickly hide under the tables, cover our heads and hold on to the furniture! 

When the 'shaking' stopped we lined up outside and our teachers checked to see if we were all there.  Phew!  We survived!
