Earthquake Turtle Training


This morning we shared our stories from the recent Earthquake. We discovered that a lot of us were scared it would happen again and felt a bit sad (we had a few tears this morning having to leave our family and caregivers). We found out that a few of us forgot to do the "turtle move" when the earthquake happened so we had a practice at school.

First we practiced our turtles inside the classroom, making sure that we are on our knees and protecting our heads.

But we never know when an earthquake might happen - we "pretended" to play and practise what we would do in the playground. We need to remember to stay out side and get down to the ground ...

And make a turtle shape!

After an earthquake we wait for a teacher or adult to tell us it is safe to leave the turtle shape. We then meet the rest of the school at the cricket pitch on the back field.
