Shake-Out

Here is a photo of Team 8 children participating in the New Zealand Shakeout - a national earthquake drill.  We practised two safety strategies - one to curl up like a turtle with our hands protecting our heads for if we are outside and there is no immediate cover. Secondly, to find a close by table to drop, cover and hold.  Our children did a fantastic job. It might also be a good opportunity to talk at home with your children what they should do at home in the unfortunate event of a fire or earthquake.

Here is a short video with Taika Waititi explaining the 'shake-out'.
