Knee Deep

For our 2nd week of term 2 we were finally at school. The first book we read was called Knee Deep, it is a story about a disaster that happened in Christchurch on February 2011.

Part of the story 
There were lots of collapsed buildings, chocking clouds of dust and tonnes of spilled raw sewage. For over the next six months part of the city wastewater system was fixed together but it needed to be repaired permanently. Unfortunately so did everything else in Christchurch.

What I wrote

Sat: Page 1 & 2

Does anyone remember the earthquake disaster at Christchurch immediately after the February 2011. Earthquake, distressed people, collapsed buildings, clouds of choking dust. What was more difficult to capture was the impact of thousands  of tonnes of spilled raw sewage .Of course they people of Christchurch understood this all too well.
