CRASH, BANG, SMACK
“Get under your desk!” Mrs May shouted. Then the desks shook and shook and shook. We held on to the legs so they didn’t fall on us.
Glue sticks fell, pencil sharpeners and rubbers falling. Rulers and pencils falling everywhere. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The chairs fell over BANG! SMASH!
“AHHHHHH!!!” we shrieked. - Emma
CRASH, BANG! Went the desks as we huddled under them. We all started screaming our heads off like headless chickens. The chairs started rocking all over the place like wild broncos. Then my desk started to move and I was stupid enough to lift my head up, then thump there was a funny noise as head hit my desk. While I was shivering my head off with fear the rest of the class were still screaming. Then the earthquake suddenly came to an end. To my relief it was only Mrs May and Grant doing it so we had something to write about!

Bang! Bang! Crash! Crash!
“Get under your desks,” my teacher screamed. Who was scared? Not me. It was an earthquake and it happened at school but it happened at 10:00 on Wednesday. I heard my friends screaming, drink bottles falling, pens and desk lids crashing to the ground with the chairs. The fire siren had gone off and people were scared. I thought to myself ‘What happened?’ but then the teacher said it was just a fake. Thank god. - Blake
Smash! Bang! Off goes a siren. It stopped. Suddenly everything was shaking. Books, pencils, pens and drink bottles fell on the ground. What was happening? Desks and chairs had fallen over. I can’t believe it was an earthquake. - Max
“Quick kids get under your desk. It’s an earthquake.” I could smell dust falling from the ceiling. It smelt like expired pizza. Room 4 were clutching onto the desk legs and everyone one was screaming like a little girl in pain. Everything was falling off our desks and being thrown about onto the floor. The desks were crashing, banging and shaking. Luckily it was only the teachers. It was a drill! - Hamish
The fire siren went off.
Mrs May said, ‘’Get under your desks, there is a earthquake .’’ Everyone in Room Four got under their desks quickly. We all got down and held the legs of our desks. Chaos, chaos. Drink bottles were flying everywhere. Desks were shaking and books were falling off the desks. - Lucy
“There is an earthquake,” said Mrs May. I was scared and terrified. “Quick get under your desk and hold onto the leg.” I heard screaming, thumping and a siren and desks were crashing and banging . Drink bottles scattered everywhere. Pencils were falling on the ground . Suddenly it was all over. We stood up and looked around the room. Desks were moved, drink bottles had tipped over. - Venessa
Woooooooo!!!!!! “Earthquake get under the desks!!!!” Bash, bash, crash, crash. I rush under my desk like my pants are on fire. We heard the crashing of desks. “Eeeeeeek!!! Eeeeeek!!!” The screaming of girls was unbearable. Things were falling like boulders falling off a cliff. Closer, closer, nearer, nearer. Whosh! Ryan caught his falling writing book. Finally the earthquake stopped. I was so confused. Why didn’t we go to the tennis courts? Why didn’t we hear a rumble before the earthquake? Why wasn't anything broken? I may never know. - Toby
I was curled up under my desk then suddenly it started shaking. Everything fell off the desks and all the chairs tipped over then…
About a minute earlier a siren went off. Mum yelled out
“Earthquake get under your desks.” We all got under and held onto our desk legs. I was laughing and talking to Jenaya. But just because I was laughing doesn't mean I wasn’t scared.
At least it was just Mum and Mrs Grant shaking the desks and knocking things off them. We all knew it was them because we could see their feet. - Alyssa
“Get under your desks there is an earthquake,” commanded Mrs May. Desks were shaking. Every single person was screaming and the fire siren was going very, very, very loud around Lawrence. Shake, shake, shake went the desks. A glue stick fell down, then Mrs May said
“Ok, it is safe now.” - Rubie
“Whooh’’ went the fire siren.
’’Get under your desk!‘’ shouted Mrs May. ‘Its an earthquake.’’ Bang! Crash! I could hear everyone’s desks crashing and banging. People were under their desks , clinging. Mrs May shouted out
“Don’t come out until it’s safe.” So, when it was safe Mrs May said that we could come out. We looked around. There were felts and pencils everywhere. The desks were bare. In the end it turned out to be fake and the fire siren was a sound off the computer. - Samara
A siren went off and Mrs May said
“Get under your desk, it’s an earthquake.” I jumped under, holding my desk leg and all I could hear was screaming and then desks crashing. People where moving right under their desk. All the desks were moving. I could see people curled up right under their desk. - Paris
“There’s a fire,” I said to the people beside me. Mrs May told Room 4 to get under our desks because there was an earthquake. The sirens were going off. Desk lids were banging, things were going everywhere like pens, pencils and gluesticks. I could hear screaming but I was not. I knew that the sirens were off the computer. I saw my gluestick beside me. I picked it up with my hands trembling, I thought it was real. Mrs May said,
“You can come out from under your desk now.” I think to myself I glad that it was just Mrs Grant and Mrs May. - Lucie
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WEEEE went a siren. I looked around. Where did that come from? Then Mrs May called out of the blue
“Get under your desk, it is an earthquake.” We all scuttled under our desks like crabs. The desks started to rattle like pompoms. One shook here, then another there. We all started to laugh because we knew what they were doing. Mrs May and Mrs Grant were trying to make us experience an earthquake. We all tried to get out from under our desks but Mrs May just said
“Just wait until we tell you that it is safe to come out. Ok now.”
We all crept out from our desks. We stood up. All of our things were scattered in all directions. Our desks were crooked. Luckily it was just Mrs May and Mrs Grant but they had me scared a little. - Abby
Bang! Bang! We get under our desks. I could hear the lids banging on the desks. I could hear screaming and crying. My desk was the wobbliest desk and it almost fell down. I was shocked. I bit my lip. Someone in my class screamed the loudest .I could smell and feel blood coming down my desk. We were under there for ages. Then I saw lots of sparks on the desk. Then the windows smashed and there was glass everywhere. The chairs were down. - Lanie
Crashing, screaming, banging. As the siren went off everyone got under their desks. Things were bouncing off the desks and onto the floor. It was so noisy! The desk legs were cold as I gripped them tight. Then CLANG!! I had to scream. My desk lid was clanging everywhere. I could see the blue carpet and the people beside me. I was wondering what was happening? And why weren’t the teachers under the desks? Luckily It was just a earthquake drill. - Jessica
We were sleeping but then BANG! BANG! CRASH! CRASH! I woke up with a thump. My Mum rushed into my brothers room and Dad ran as fast as a ROCKET into my room.
“I think I’m awake now,” I said.
“’Well that sure was an earthquake, I'm wide awake,” complained Dad.
It was shaky so hard that I keep on falling over like a newborn lamb. It was that hard to stand up! I think I needed to go on a wheel chair. - Ryan
As the siren went off Mrs May said
“Get under your desk.” I was scared as well as excited. All the desks started to move and all the chairs fell down. My gluestick fell on my head. As everyone started to get up Mrs May was not under a desk. Mrs May said,
“Do you all know that it was a fake?”. - Jenaya
Bang, crash! Ahh, ohh! ”Whats going on?” I said in my head.
”Under desks,” Mrs May said. My foot was all squished very tightly into Jenaya. A worried feeling came into my head. Shake, shake went the desks. Ohh, there goes a glue stick. Shakier and shakier, scarier and scarier. Lots of kids were screaming. Then it was over. We got up. Once we got up there were pencil cases everywhere, drink bottles scattered under desks, books everywhere and pens all around me. - Josie
“Get under your desk!” the teacher yelled so we got under our desks. I thought I was going to DIE!! Then I could hear people screaming like pussy cats. Pow! Whack! I got a kick in the face with a shoe by Ryan.
“Ouch! Get back here now you little brat!” Then I saw a quick flash of red pants. What the…? The a horrible smell went, mmmmm, how do I put this? - Alesana
