http://www.news.com.au/world/christchurch-cathedral-before-and-after/story-e6frfl00-1226010081646 Click here to see photos of the Christchurch earthquake.On the 22nd of February a devastating Earthquake hit Christchurch. This is the second time it has happened. The Earthquake had demolished Christchurch, and turned it into a disaster zone.

While the earthquake was happening there were tumbling buildings that were crushing people. It must of been sad for the families that have lost a family member, or family members, that got crushed under all the debris and rubble The Prime Minister named it as New Zealands darkest Day.

The people that got crushed under the rubble got seriously injured or even dead, thats how bad it is. So far the death toll is 75, and their are 300 people missing. If you didn't see anything about it you go on Google and type in Christchurch earth earthquake.

The Seed

In room 17 Miss garden read us a book could The Seed. It is about a cherry seed dropping in the middle of two tribes, Scarabs and Chafers. As she was getting to the end of the story she said that we are going to draw these beetles so look at them carefully. The Scarabs are green and blue and the chafers are red and brown. I have chosen to draw a Chafer because I like red. This is what we have been doing recently.

New netbooks

I can go on my netbook where ever I am and when ever I want to.We are using netbooks now so we can get ready for the furture.

As soon as we got given our netbooks we were ready to turn it on and set it up. Finally we were unboxing our new brand spanking netbooks, we grabed it out.We were really excited.

I was energised when we got to first play on our netbooks. When we first went on the internet I was very confused that the connection was not working. After a while i figured out were tux typing, because it was in games.

In the Christmas holiday my family and I went to the North Shore, for a holiday at a place called Pakiri beach.

As we drove there my little sister (Julianna) was crying to get out of her car-seat. We pulled over on the side of the road to take her outside for some fresh air. On the side of the road there was a shady place so we went under it because it started to rain.

When we got there I went inside my families cabin. My family and I were lucky because we had a cabin. It had two bunks and a big bed. As soon as I had put all my stuff in my draws I went for a swim. While I was swimming I saw lots of fish swim pass me. There were fish and flounders in the water. After my swim I ran back to my cabin and had a shower. I didn’t know how to use the shower so I just had a cold one. My brother (Jordan) also came for a swim to so he was calling me to get out of the shower so I quickly jumped out and got dressed in my room.


After my refreshing shower I played on my cousin Stevenson's PSP. I played Tekken it is a fighting game. 10 minutes later I had to look after my little brother and sister, their names are Kristopher and Julianna. I had to feed them and play with them it was hard.

At the end of my holiday I was very happy because I had a great time and I was happy to go home. My family thought that it was good to go out on a camp.
