The Willowbank ShakeOut

Today at 9:26am, over 1.3 million New Zealanders took part in the New Zealand ShakeOut.  This was a nationwide earthquake drill and was a success here at Willowbank Primary.  The aim of the ShakeOut was to better prepare Kiwi's for if or when an earthquake happens.  

Room 8 has been learned that if we feel the Earth start to shake, we need to Drop, Cover and Hold!  

Here are a few photos of us during the drill... 

Reply from Whittaker's

We got a reply from the letters we wrote top Whittaker's today! The children were very excited to hear back from them and can't wait to read more about the chocolate making process from the information they have given to us.
They are also super excited about the chocolate bars they sent!
