Tiny House

Throughout the past month, or so, we have worked on making tiny houses Learning intention: We did this for a maths task using area, perimeter and geometry. And the objective was to build a tiny house using these skills. We had to design these houses ourselves, and use our imagination.

Eathquake!

Success criteria:

Write a proper recount about the earthquake/s we felt

Earthquake

“Alright, go to bed” my mum said. “Hurry up, you got school tomorrow” she said. So me and my brother, Flynn, turned off our tablets and went to bed. I turned the T.V on, in our bedroom then watched some programs while Flynn was slowly falling to sleep. At around 10:00 or 11:00 P.M my mum came in thinking I was asleep, and turned the T.V off. I said “hi”, so she’d notice I was awake and then she said “go to sleep” kind of grumpily and turned one my radio, then went to my other brothers room and told him to go to sleep, his name was Logan.

Once I finally got to sleep I started to dream about fat unicorns jumping around on clouds and singing ‘Car Radio’ (by twenty one pilots), then my mum stopped that dream, waking me up. She said “get under the doorframe”, I didn’t know what was going but I blindly followed her instructions anyway. I took my blankets off, then when I stepped on to the ground, I could feel it shaking, it was an earthquake!

I ran to the doorframe, and stayed there, I was guessing it would only go for a couple seconds so I wasn’t scared at all, but when it went for over 30 seconds I started to feel a bit unsure, then the power cut out. I wasn’t so scared that I was screaming and crying but my legs were shaking a lot. After about a minute the earthquake stopped but the power was still out.

We went to check for any damage, so my mum grabbed a torch, and straight away we saw cups on the floor, smashed. That was the only thing that happened in the kitchen then when we went out to the lounge and saw that the antique plates and cups my mum had, had all smashed. My mum was more worried about our fish tank that had our Axolotl in it, so she checked over there first, half of the water in the fish tank was on the floor, we were worried that our axolotl  had fell out of the tank and checked around, but he was just hiding in a corner.

After a while I grabbed my tablet and played some offline games, then the power turned back on, so I went to facebook and took a picture of some of the damage and posted it on facebook, the wifi was still not fully on so I couldn't see any new posts but then it started to work after a while and saw everyone's posts. We were all talking to each other then an aftershock came, I went back to a doorframe and waited for it to stop, this was much smaller and did no damage to anything but the power went out again. It didn't go out for that long though so I got to go back onto facebook pretty quick.

Throughout the next hour we stayed awake going to the door frame every time there was a big-ish aftershock until I got to a point where I went back to sleep even if there was an aftershock.
