Reading - SVA Thoughts

What is the SVA?

The SVA is a student organisation to stop liquefaction from the earthquakes. It also stands for the Student Volunteer Army. They have many projects that they are completing  and have completed over the past years. 

What do the SVA do?

They help people who are in need and help aid them with problems they have and are facing after all the earthquakes and supply them with food, water and a place to stay.

Why do they help?
Sam Johnson started the organisation with about 6 people and then after a short amount of time he had about 7000-8000 members in his organisation.

This week for reading Miss Birch asked us to create a Screencastify about our reading. we were asked to choose a topic from our reading which was about earthquakes. I did mine about the cause of earthquakes because it seemed like a challenge.

Here is my screencastify and my slideshow.

I hope you enjoyed my video

Sunday's Earthquake.

On Sunday night, well Monday morning there was a earthquake that shook New Zealand. The earthquake was about 7.5, Our biggest earthquake for 2016!  The earthquake happened at about 12:08! I was sleeping when this happened, my nana woke me up and told me to go to my brothers room. I didnt't know what happened because I was sleeping, so was my brother. I slept in his room for 1 minute untill my nana told me that there was a earthquake. I was too tired to understand what happened so I went to sleep. Some of the damage is dangerous. here are some photo's of the damage in kaikora, where the earthquake did its worst.
