Diary

Dear Diary


It all happened on a sunny morning Sina was getting me and Niko ready for school like a normal school day, I felt the ground shake as I dropped to the floor, it took only a minute for the Earthquake to finish, I got up slowly before grabbing my bag and waving goodbye to Sina and Mika as I ran down to the shoreline of the beach, to turn my head to see that there were fish splashing in small puddles, I looked over and saw water coming towards me but it was huge, Fish were falling onto the muddy ground as the wave got bigger and bigger, I thought this was the end of me, till I felt someone grab my hand, I had turned my head to see Niko pulling me away from the wave, “Run was all Niko said to me before I had nodded and began to run, I ran an ran but when I turned my head the water was getting closer and closer, I saw Niko climbing up a tree to safety, I turned my head to try to find a safe spot but found none, I was swept off my feet as I bobbed up and down in the water trying to stay afloat, it felt like my whole life was flashing before my eyes, I opened my eyes to try and stay a float, I looked around to find Niko, I looked up to hear a name calling for me, I remember it well enough for it to be Niko as he had pulled me up onto the tree branch with him.

After all that I can’t believe we all survived.

  1. Kia ora Ruby! I really enjoyed reading your diary entry for the story, The Hungry Wave. You recounted all of the important events from the short story we read in class. Can you have another look at how you uploaded your Screencastify and see if you can embed it into the post. I would love to hear you reading your entry outloud!
