Shakeout Drill

Shakeout Drill

Well earlier this morning we had a shakeout drill. We had to wait for 3 bells to tell us when to get under the desks. As soon as the 3 bells rang we went under our desk as quick as we could. Everyone had to try and protect themselves from the shakeout. .When we got under the desks everyone was pretending to prepare for the worst. We felt really squished but it was worth it. In the end Miss Brough called over the speaker and told us that we were allowed to get on with our work and she hoped that we were safe.
