Aidan on Christ Church

Christ Church is a city in New Zealand.

A year ago the earth was shaking.

This is called an earthquake.

A lot of buildings fell down.

Lots of people were hurt or killed.

Other people tried to help them.

In the museum we saw a movie where people told us about the earthquake.

One man saved all the kids from the school who were in the pool having a swimming lesson.

The earthquake made the waves very high but he saved all the kids, not just his own.

Today, builders are fixing the buildings that fell down.
