Shake Out

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Friday the 17th October our school and almost every other school in the country had a shake out. Pretty much a shake out is where the whole school has an earthquake drill and then afterwards has a Tsunami drill. I'm not sure whether all schools have a Tsunami drill straight after the earthquake one.

The drill started by the office giving an all-call (The office sends a message out to the whole school) that an earthquake is happening and then we were told to get under the tables. We stayed under the tables for about five minutes until we were told get out from under the tables and walk in single file to one of the gates. We have a safe zone from Tsunamis directly outside our school, but we have permission from one of the school parents to go up their drive way anyway just to be safe. The driveway is uphill and it's so big that it can fit the entire school on it, and there are over 300 students at our school!

In case of an earthquake emergency you always drop, cover and hold. Drop underneath a table, cover your head and neck, and wait until the shaking has stopped. If your outside or there's no room underneath a table just drop into a turtle position, and cover your head and neck.

I really hope you found this post interesting and useful.

Team Time | Emil

Team Time

Every term we have 1-2 team times. Team time is a block of time that we get to do different things. Sometimes it could be going to the pool or going to watch a movie but most of the time we just get to hang around and have free time at school. There's usually a movie going on at team time if it's just at school but most people just play games on their Chromebooks. I personally like to go outside (if it's dry) and play football. To get on team time you have to have completed everything on a hand in sheet which tracks all the work in a term. I can't wait for the next team time!
