‘My Story’- Oliver, 4, Footsteps Pre School
I was sleeping and when the earthquake came, Mummy jumped onto my bed and woke me up, Mummy was wearing no clothes because she was just about to get into the bath. Everything fell down when I was asleep. I was feeling brave when the earthquake came.
Dear Oliver
Well I am so glad you wrote this email to tell us about what happened when the earthquake came.
I think Mummy was very surprised when she had to wake you up.
I am pleased to hear you were very brave and I hope you won’t have another earthquake again.
I also hope Mummy gets her bath soon.
Just to let you know that there are lots of people in New Zealand and the rest of the world thinking of you right now and hoping you stay well.

Dear Oliver, you added awesome humour to your story. We hope you are safe with your family. you must been scared out of your mind. We hope your house is still in one piece and that you don’t lose your family. you probably didn’t know there was an earthquake until your mum woke you up. Stay safe ok, from saphron and brookelyn in hastings.
