Earthquake on Monday 8th of July 2013 at 9:58:44 am


It was happened when I was in ESOL calss. We were doing assesment practice.It was a little bit bigger than that I've ever felt in NZ.

  • Depth: 72 km
  • Magnitude: 4.9
  • Location: 30 km east of Waipukurau


  • I felt a little bit scary because that reminded me when I had a big earthquake in Japan.
    Chikae was so scared of it and she became sick. She went out of our class so I followed her and I was trying her to calm down.
    After that, I was soooooooooooo surprised because Cook said "I felt earthquake for the first timein my life. I also feel scary." Everyone was surprised too and we were like "Really?(OoO!!!)" and she said "We don't have earthquake in Thai." By the way, Ink felt a little one before in New Zaland.
    Anyway that reminded us about big earthquake in Japan.

    ORIGAMI lessons!!

     We had Origami lessons two days at lunch time. It was great! Chikae,Risa and I told how to make a dodecagon with Origami.There were two type of paper dodecagon so we  separated into two groups to teach different it.

     Everyone concentrated to make it and looked fun! Also everyone asked me like "Is this right?"  "How to do this?'' ''Could you help me?'' and so on and called my name when they ask me!!!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooooo happy because they remembered my name and I could be someone's help. I hope so! I found it was not easy to explain how to make it.Risa was so good at teaching how to make it!!!! I thought I should follow her example.

     Then the international students from Iona came here. I was surprised because I didn't know that. There were 4 or 5 Japanese students! and the other students were from Thai and Korea.I didn't have any idea there is some Japanese students in Iona. Some of them are younger than me. That was really good meeting! I want to learn something with them
    again.

     About next lesson,some people came to finish it and some people learned the other Origami stuff. We prepared paper candy boxes and a little little tiny paper cranes and put a crane and a miniature chocolate bar in the candy box. We gave it to them who came to learn as "Thank you for coming;)" then, some of them gave me a hug. That's so sweet<3

    I was glad to have such a great opportunity!!!! Also,I was happy about they seemed to be enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to having next culture club events! It's so cool because we can learn from local people and demonstration.
