The Earthquake Strikes Again

Another Earthquake has hit a lot of buildings in Christchurch City Centre and it has caused a lot of damage. Even half of the Christchurch City people were sleeping in a tent with their pillows and quilt on the flat ground. Dorie school felt the aftershock during the lunch time while everyone was inside having their lunch. Some of the students had their first experience in the Earthquake. It was good that we were all together because it was easy to get everyone into a safe place.
