The Christchurch Earthquakes

 Predictions-

What do I think I know about this disaster?

I don’t know much about this topic 

What do I think I will find out about this disaster?

I think I will find out the death toll, the date and time and of course how it occurred 


Reading Comprehension-

1. Why do you think there was no loss of life in the September earthquake?

I think it’s because it was in the early morning and I think it’s also cause it wasn’t closer to the city centre

2. How many people were injured in the February earthquake?

6,459 amount of people had gotten injured

3. Explain liquefaction in your own words

When soil acts more like liquid during an earthquake, that’s what you call liquefaction

115 people died

Reflection- 

What am I learning?

I am learning about Christchurch earthquake 

How does this work show my learning?

Since all the knowledge I gained of this topic is written in this post 

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

How many pets were lost too

Looking back at my predictions, what did I get right, what was different and why?

Like always, everything got answered and nothing is different
