Welcome Back!

It was so lovely to have all the children back at school today. The day started off with a big session on earthquakes and I can confidently say that the children are well prepared if one happens while they're at school. I have some useful websites that you may want to take a look at and if anyone has any problems please come and see me.

School Tomorrow

Hi Room 9 and Parents,
I am looking forward to seeing you all at school tomorrow.
Morning Tea: There will be morning tea in the hall tomorrow at 9am for any parents who would like to join us. We will have some resources available for those of you who would like help in helping your children deal with the earthquake and after effects of it.
I hope you have had a relaxing weekend and I will see you tomorrow,
Miss Rooney

No School Until Monday 13th September

Hi Room 9 and Parents,
In case you haven't already heard there is no school until Monday. I hope that you are all keeping safe and avoiding the aftershocks (as much as possible). I am thinking of you all and can't wait to see your smiling faces on Monday.
See you then, Miss Rooney

Earthquake Safety

DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON!
Learn what to do during an earthquake, whether you're at home, at work, at school or just out and about. Taking the proper actions, such as "Drop, Cover, and Hold On", can save lives and reduce your risk of death or injury. During earthquakes, drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it firmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.


How did you protect yourselves Room 9? I ran and stood in the door-way of my bedroom. Post a comment telling me what you did.

Remember to keep safe and enjoy the sunshine while it's out today!

Earthquake

Hi Room 9,
I hope you are all okay after being woken up early this morning. I was a bit scared! Just a few broken glasses and a vase at my house. I just got some power and water, so I'm a bit happier now. Keep safe and I will see you all Monday.
