Cars seats are safe

It is good to be in car seats because little kids are sitting in seat belts that cut across ther neck so when the car crashes it might break their neck.  That is a reason why you should put your young children in car seats.  On November the frist a new law is coming in.  It is that the car seat law changed from 2 years to seven so if you don't like it your going to have to do it.

New Law

There is a new law about car seats.  It says the age that young children will be required to sit in a car seat has been changed from two years to age 7 the new law will come in november 2013.  The car seat must be appropriate for the height and and weight of the child.  This means the parents will have to change the size of car seats as they grow.  Its a good idea because it keeps you safe and it can save your life because you are high and the seat will go across your childs chest not their neck.

Drop, Cover, Hold

"Drop, cover, hold," the teacher yelled. I was scared like a little girl crying for help. Whaea Lyn's classroom was shaking like a monster trying to pick up the classroom. About ten people were under the same table as me were starting to cry. I yelled, "Drop, cover, hold and then you will be safe." I thought we were going to die in that earthquake. I was to scared to say something. It felt like a small storm was starting to happen. Leana was really laughing throughout the whole earthquake. I said don't laugh otherwise the earthquake will get worse. By Junaid

I was scared

The ground started shaking. It was like a big giant shaking the ground. The girls screamed. It was like the ground was going to open. I was scared. We all stopped and it was like a wave shaking the ground. There was no cover in the hall. We dropped. I was scared that the metal beams were going to fall on me. By Turahira

The earthquake

The older kids screamed, "Earthquake." Room threes lights were shaking like a washing machine. The teachers thought it was the stereo. The year six boys were laughing like nothing was happening. The little kids did not know there was an earthquake. When we were outside it happened, I felt sick. When we went to class everbody was yelling at whaea Lisa, "did you feel the earthquake?"

HIP HOP

I got in the hall. I heard music pumping on the ground. Everyone heard it in their classrooms. It was like it was trying to get into my ear drums. When Monique said, "Walk around." Everyone started to run crazy like a tornado. Whaea Darnielle shouted, "Listen up, listen to Monique or I'll sit your butts down." Then it was like we were doing a ballet dance. Every time I did the matrix, it hurt my tummy and I fell on the ground. Then after a while I got up. Then when it was nearly finished I felt my stomach. It was pumping. By Lui

HIP HOP

My body is grooving to the beat. My toes were tapping to the ground. I was swaying side to side. I was going bonkers with all my friends. It was like the hall was chitty chatting to me, with excitement. It was the time the hall was vibrating to me. I was twirling and whirling. It was like a ghost was controlling my fantastic skills. By Jorjia Hales

HIP HOP

The beat started to pump fast. My body started shaking. The music is cool. It's confusing sometimes because , when we do the spinning part the dance teacher does the wrong move. Then we all do the same thing but some of the other kids at the back do the right thing and then we have to do it over and over and over again. By Kristafa Hirawani
