My learning goal for term 2 2012

Dear Tiere

In the holidays I went to Christchurch with my brother and Dad and my brother was so annoying  he got up to  mischief and he is only 11.
How we  got to Christchurch our dad had to pick  us up from the auckland airport so we could get our plane tickets to go to Christchurch.
While we were there we went to whitcoulls to buy me a book I got breaking dawn while my brother was looking at video games. Then something terrible happened a few days later there was a earthquake I wasn’t scared but as soon a it striked I quickly got under the table and holded really tight on the legs on the table. As soon it was finished I checked my brother and dad if they had any injuries ,but they didn’t they were safe and so was I. If we hadn’t been under that table there would be serious injuries or could have been killed.

The next day when my dad’s grouchy boss said to rebuild the city again he did and he also asked if we could help to he said “Sure you and the kids can help if they don’t mess anything”,and my dad said “I will tell them what to do so they can’t mess it up”.We did not mess it up, but me and my brother had to paint the shops and signs again and it was the best thing we did. After we were done which took about 24 hours to complete we were stuffed tired and were battling to keep our eyes open.

When we were doing that we were lucky enough to see other builders helping us and I was even luckier to see my step dad’s friend I talked to him when it was break time .When the shops and signs were finished I saw John Key and my dad’s boss the next day they appeared and they were surprised we were finished. Then Mr John Key gave us a treat to say thank you for helping. Joenhn Key said “You two are the first kids to help rebuild the city”. The next day wtis time to go back to whangarei  so we could get back to dargaville and have ome time
I on video games and having turns going to go on facebook
had feelings they were sad - to be in an earthquake

, worried- thinking one of my family members might die, not so good- Was feeling sick and lucky last exited and happy - helping to rebuild the city.

So all the things I said is about me being in christchurch with me,brother and dad.
