Our Reports and Poems on the Canterbury Earthquake
A Rocking Time
Suddenly my cupboards started to shake
I'm surfing on my bed.
Mum comes racing down the hall,
yelling,"Vienna!"
I yelled back, "Mummy!"
She picked me up
We huddled under the doorway,
Then finally it was over.

The Natural Disaster
At 4:35am the ground started shaking
The lights went off
My lamp fell down
My bed shook fiercely
The new building behind our house
Moved...
A whole 10 cm
I was terrified when the earthquake struck
My mum text our friends
Dad checked on the neighbours
We listened to the radio
to find out about the damage

Dangerous Cracks Appear
Something was rocking,
The ground was shaking.
A tremendous shock, a terrifying night,
Rocking, shocking shaking.
Power... no...power off!
What a scary night.
Such a tremendous wait,
This earthquake that hit Christchurch and Kaiapoi
Never felt anything like that before.

George has a strong interest in science. Among a number of subjects that fascinate him is geology. As part of our report writing unit the students were asked to form a report about the Canterbury earthquake. This is George's report.
At 4:35am on Saturday the 4th of September, 2010, an earthquake struck Darfield. A richter scale which is a machine that scientists use to measure underground vibrations from vault lines or tectonic plates recorded the measurement of the earthquake as 7.1. There have been more than 2000 aftershocks.
What Causes an Earthquake?
Under the surface of the Earth there are tectonic plates that move slowly on a liquid substance which is heated by the Earth's core that is molten iron and is hot as the surface of the sun. The rock that surrounds this fiery ball is molten and is called the outer core. At its deepest point it is 2,000 kilometres thick. The liquid substance that surrounds the outer core is known as the mantel. The mantel is 2,500 kilometres thick. The mantel is covered in tectonic plates. These tectonic plates move on top of each other. An earthquake is caused when these tectonic plates hit a bump which causes a vibration that travels through the crust. We call it an earthquake.
