Fireworks are very dangerous and also they cause damage. Fireworks can be yellow, green, read, gold, silver, orange, white, bronze, pink, purple and blue. When the fireworks blow up they shoot up like a shooting star, then they sparkle up in the night sky and they blow up like sprinkles! Fireworks can be any size like Cascades, little, round, square, big, long, skinny, fat and an octagon. The fireworks you can see are a squiggle in the air, Bad Boy fireworks and also Cascades. My favourite firework it the Cascades because they are not as dangerous as the others. Guy Fawkes Safety: 1. When you're doing fireworks, make sure you have an adult lighting up the firework. 2. You're not allowed to buy fireworks unless you are 18 or over. 3. After your firework has blown up, you have to put them in a bucket of water or put water on them with a hose. 4. Remember to put your pet inside. Be safe with fireworks! By Limiteti
On Thursday 15th October the whole of New Zealand is going to stop what they are doing and practice what to do if there was ever an earthquake! We know that Christchurch in the South Island has been very unlucky and has had lots of big earthquakes in the past, so we think it's a good idea to practice what we should do to keep safe - just like we have fire drills! We know that we have to drop to the ground, take cover under a table or desk and cover up our neck, then hold onto the table and stay there if there is ever an earthquake and we are indoors. If we are outside we should try and move as far away from buildings and trees as possible to keep safe. We should have an emergency kit at home in case there is an earthquake, flood, big storm, hurricane or tsunami. We need at least enough canned food for each person for 3 days (and don't forget the can opener!), bottled water, a first aid kit, radio, torch and batteries, gas cooker and some spare clothes and blankets. These items can make a big difference to your survival in an emergency, so it's super important to have it ready and in a safe place so you can find it easily! Remember where ever you are on October 15th, at 9.15am to DROP, COVER, HOLD!
