Earthquake Drill

 On Thursday along with many other schools throughout the motu - Ōtaki School participated in the New Zealand Shakeout. At 9:30am the bell rang for a long time - we stopped, dropped and covered our heads. Then we all went out to line up in our meeting area in front of the Whare Manaaki. We then did practised what we would do if there was a long and strong earthquake - our tsunami drill. We walked down to the Domain - the safe zone if a tsunami were to happen. 


Then as a school we sang hari huritau to Tawhirimātea because it was his birthday!
