DROP ! COVER ! HOLD !

 Today at 9:15 schools around New Zealand did the shakeout drill .   The bell rang 3 times and we had to drop , cover , and hold . All of us were crammed under our desk  but it was better than being seriously injured if an earthquake actually happened. It is preparing us for the worst . I’m glad we participated in the Shake out . Remember Drop , Cover and Hold .

Aurora Australis Lights Up New Zealand .

 
Lucky Astronomers were amazed when they got a one of a kind view of the beautiful Aurora Australis . The Aurora Australis was an event that filled the sky with exquisite  bright colors like pink , purple , blue and green. It  happened when the solar winds from the sun mixed with the earth's upper atmosphere . The Beautiful sight is usually seen from the South Island but the solar storm was so big that it was spotted in the North East of the North Island .
