Hi, I’m Zac from Room 8 and Canterbury quake is book where 11 year old Madde experiences the great Christchurch and her and her family live through the disaster and learn some lessons.
ReplyDeleteI think that Madde has learned to not take things far granted and the other peaple in her life are going through the some thing so she should not attack them just because she is sad about the earthquake. Madde has also learned to stop worrying about a phone and to start worrying about the peaple that have died. Blog you later!
Hello Jarvis here, This book is about earthquakes in Canterbury the main character is Maddy before the earthquakes all Maddy wanted was a phone and because her birthday was coming up she thought she could get it. She keeped saying I need a phone because what if I need to contact you or 111. After the earthquakes hit Maddies family went to the mall and bought her a phone. Then the bigger earthquake happened and maddie forgot all about her phone because people were dying and Laura had left. A lesson she learnt was that her phone didn't matter any more, she was worried about the deaths and missing pets. She also learnt that some times in life you have to leave people and get on with it. Maddy has gotton a lot closer to her brother and sister and they have all been nice to each other.
ReplyDeleteOverall Maddy has learnt that earthquakes bring people together and peopl care and worry for each other a lot more.

Kia ora,
ReplyDeleteI think Maddy learnt a lesson when she was worrying about a phone
to worrying about people being killed. She heard that a baby had died.
And Laura (Laura is her BFF) has moved to Timaru because of the earthquake.
And she has develop a nice relationship with her sister Tessa.
And she now is spending more time with her family.
She has realized that the earthquake has done a lot of damage and Christchurch will never be the same!!
And did you know that the earthquake was 7.1 inset it crazy
hope you like my ponder for today
Over all I think Maddy has learnt a lot through all the tough thing and she is learning what a earthquake can do!!!

ReplyDeleteKia ora Thomas Remy here, The book is about earthqauckes in Canterbury the main character is Maddy, Maddy is 11 years old she just got a phone she got it because if she was in trouble she needed to contact her Mum, Dad and 111. She has a friend called Lora and they are good friends and Lora has moved away to Timaru because a guy predicted one earthqauke and he also predicted another one but it didn't happen so everyone is now annoyed at him. She has a little brother called Jackson and loves lego (so do I). She also has a older sister. Since the earthqaukes hit her sister started being really nice.
ReplyDeleteMaddie has learned that earthqaukes bring people closer together because there Uncles there aunties and their garandparents all stayed at there house. She learnt how to be bear grills because she had to boil her water and poop in a hole in her backyard.
Overall Maddy has learned that earthqaukes are scary everything that want want get. Blog ya later. Remy
The story of Canterbury Quake is about Christchurch having an earthquake, there is a family with three siblings. The big sister was called Tessa, the little brother was Jackson, and the main character was Maddy. Maddy learned that sometimes life is hard and you have to find ways to deal with it and never give up. Maddy used to think that Tessa and Jackson were annoying and mean, but after the earthquake she feels bad that she thought that because she likes them now. Maddy used to be jealous of Tessa, but now she loves her brother and sister.
ReplyDeleteKia Ora,
ReplyDeleteIn Canterbury Quake the main character is Maddie, she REALLY wanted a cellphone at the start of the book. She has a sister,Tessa (she dislikes) and a best friend who is Laura. Laura and Maddie are practicing a duet for choir.Her brother Jackson, All this was important to her before the earthquake. After the earthquake all this changes, she is nice to Tessa but is lonely because Laura moved to TIMARU! Her brother is scared of ALL the after shakes and Christchurch is destroyed and people have DIED because of this earthquake. THIS is important to her NOW. Overall that Maddie has learnt that something are more important than getting a cellphone and annoying your sister.

ReplyDeleteCanterbury Quake is a novel about Maddy and her family, based in Christchurch, where there were earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. Maddy used to think Jackson was annoying and naughty and gross. After the earthquake, Maddy has learned to not make fun of Jackson and wants to look after him more. She knows he is scared because he is wetting the bed and talking to the cat. Maddy has learned that sometimes life can be bad, but you have to deal with it. Laura, her best friend, went to Timaru, and Maddy was shocked and sad. Bettina is another girl at Maddy's school, who was being mean to Maddy at choir. Bettina tried not to cry, because her friend Zoe was leaving to another city.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Room 8, Charlotte here.
ReplyDeleteAt the begging of the book she was 10 turning 11, she wanted a phone,(partly because her friend Laura has one already). She always fights with her sister Tessa when shes around.
In the middle she was getting ready for her singing duo with her friend Laura when the earthquake struck at 4.35am on the 4th of September 2010. The ground shock and everything collapsed and tumbled,as people including her family went for cover. She learnt that earthquakes stay with you forever and are terrifying when they happen and they have to be ready for anything.
But over all she learnt to be ready for anything and her friend left and went to Timaru for safety and she had to be ready for that to. She also learnt not to take things for granted.
Bye have a nice day.
Charlotte.
Kia Ora bloggers!Bella here!

Hi Room 8,
ReplyDeleteRita.L here.
In class we have been reading a book called the Canterbury quake its about a girl named Maddy and she lives in Canterbury and they had a 7.1 earthquake.
Maddy and her sister were never very nice to each other but while and after the earthquake there talked nicer to each other and they also were more friendly to each other. Maddy lost her best friend Luara because of the earthquake (she didn't die) Laura moved to Timaru because her family couldn't deal with all the earthqaukes and aftershoocks that they had ever single day. Some times the after shocks would be big but some time they would also be small but effective. I think Maddy learn't that family and friends mean alot and not to take thing for granted.
Overall Maddy learn't that every little thing means alot and there are heaps of people without stuff in the world
Anyways!
BYE!
Rita.L
Canterbury Quake is a novel about Mady and her Family, in the earthquakes in Christchurch.
ReplyDeleteMaddy learned that life can be good and bad sometimes. She learned that she could make new friends, because she was lonely and her friend left Christchurch. She learned to take care of her brother instead of bullying him.
Hi I'm Byesion from rm 8. I think that Maddy has learened quite alot throughout this grand scheme. at first she only cared about getting a cellphone. but little did she know that her whole world would go crashing down until there was nothing left. The earthquake was starting they were in bed when the first one hit. They all woke up immediately. this is when it all started to crumble. That's all I'll be able write. BYE!

Middle was so up set because she did't get a iphone like the sis. I think middle was up set because she did't get a phone and when the earthquake was haping she was get a node ov her sis when it stop at 12:34 and one more earthquake come to the some place. when the earthquake was den they went out ov the house and look out side.when btena was boiling the girls and when they were getting belling she was chaing to halp them.I think the erathquake was bad for them and it hapn at 2010. I look at the book and think it was fake because it look like it was't renll but it was rnill. If you was by the earthquake what will you do.beyyy
