Last thursday we did speeches it was good it was on thursday because there was so much rain we couldn't go outside. My speech was about Emma Twigg. There were loads of good speeches that I enjoyed.
About 3/4 of the way through one person went home, an then another and another. People kept coming in to tell people their parents were here to take them home. I had already done my speech but it was really annoying getting disrupted.
Almost half the class had left when the teachers (Koka Rozie and Koka Pip) decided we should just stop speeches because of all the disruptions. Then someone asked 'why is everyone leaving' Koka Rozie replied 'there's a risk of flooding from all the rain. And parents can come pick up their children' I looked out at the grass there were ankle deep puddles everywhere and little awa on the hills that wasn't there before.
I stayed at school for a little longer then mum came and picked me up. We had to drive out to Campion- my sister Nellie's school- to pick Nellie up. On the way we had to drive through massive puddle, it was like swimming. We picked up Nellie and two of her friends on the way back from Campion Gisborne was declared in a state of emergency so we went home and ate mars bars and hot chocolate. Sponge bay was told to evacuate. Our school hall was a safe place for people who had to evacuate.
