Terrifying Tsunami

 On Friday it was just a regular day until there was a tsunami warning. The whole of the Bay Of Islands had to evacuate. We had to sit down on the mat and do the roll to make sure everyone was here. Then we had to go up the big hill next to our school called Totara Heights. It was hard work to walk up my legs started to really hurt. Once we got up the hill we had to sit down and do the roll again for safety reasons. We slowly moved up the hill while people were getting picked up by their parents. Then we stood up and watched the water rise. Everyone was getting thirsty and hungry and some were using the teacher’s phone to call their parents. After a while a lady came out a gave us some fruit. Then about an hour later people started being very nice and giving us water and food. After that we found a way to keep ourselves entertained by reading a quiz. Soon two people came out and gave us wieners and they we delicious!!!

Then they came out with a second batch and they were being very kind. Then the principal went down to go get everyone’s bags. We then had a proper feed with our lunch boxes and I wasn’t bored anymore. Soon we got the all clear sign and we got to go back down to school. We had to do the roll once more to make sure everyone was here. And so we made our journey down the big hill; Totara Heights. We eventually got back into our class and we were safe at last. We then got an ice cream. Soon my mum came and picked me up.

It was a very interesting day. Have you ever experienced anything like this?
