Fortunately Freeville School has done well in the Earthquake. There were no breakages that I know of and it was given the all clear structurally. It's good to know we have such a strong and sturdy school!
From what I can see it is likely that we will not be back at school until Monday according to the Ministry of Education's website, because of the sanitation issuses. It's a legal requirement that there be drinkable water and safe clean toileting.
It was great to see some children form our class add their own recounts of what happened for them during the earthquake. I think the people of Canterbury have coped very well with this earthquake, e.g. everyone doing the right thing so that everyone survived, power and water being restored quickly, neighbours supporting neighbours and helping out people where they can.
Have you been following the updates?
I've enjoyed following the live updates from the TVNZ news website and the aftershocks on Geonet.
Stay safe everyone, and I'll see you when they let us go back to school.
