Christchurch Earthquake

Christchurch Earthquake

On the 22nd of february in 2011 I was in Christchurch visiting my family for a few days (6) it was the second day of being down in Christchurch and it was going to be my cousins birthday the next day. Since it was my cousins birthday the next day my cousin(Mary), my mum and I decided to get the food for dinner tonight and tomorrow for the birthday While we were in traffic we felt shaking, heard people screaming, car alarms going off and saw half of the people in the traffic running around out of their cars and the other half staying in their cars trying to be safe. “WHAT WAS THAT?!” my cousin Mary asked with a concerned face “it was an earthquake..” my mum replied with a concerned face while i sat in shock “Jocelyn you okay?” my mum asked me while looking through the rearview mirror…

Then I looked out my window to see what was happening and I saw a few ambulances, a bunch of police cars and a few fire engines. I wondered why they were here if it was only going for 10 seconds? I opened my door and there was a GIANT crack in the floor and it had a car halfway in it!!!!! I was so terrified…

Jellybean music was so fun!

On Monday Room8 had jellybean music. First we sat behind a yellow box of something. there was a girl. she introduced herself. She told us when we leave to say goodbye Resa and then she will say goodbye Room8.

Next Resa said we have to warm up so we learned a dance the song was called big banana. Resa showed the dance and we followed her. It was funny and hard.

Then we were warmed up. Resa said open the yellow box! We did it was  a clockends I have never seen it before she taught us how to play it was fun! It was with a song I don't know the name of the song though.

Lastly we got an instrument. We closed our eyes so we do not see the instrument we got. I got two sticks. I really wanted a triangle but it was better than a drum! 

It was so fun because I learnt something new!
