Wild Weather!

Today Paremata School had to close because the rain was so heavy it caused water to flood all over the ground. The water was knee high in some places! Here are responses to the flooding from children in Korimako.

It's really slippery and deep. The rain is booming with thunder. There's going to be water everywhere.

I wonder how we're going to get home in the terrible rain? If little brother or sisters were here they'd like to play with their bath toys in the rain. The rubbish bin looks so little.

It's so deep that we can't get around the school. The school is so flooded that it looks like it's the sea. Maybe the cars might flood. Some people have seen the flood so big. It's hard to get home. I haven't seen it before.

The rain is so deep that some people have trouble walking around. People have to walk in their bare feet and not wear their shoes. Maybe you will have to take your shoes off to walk. The rain feels like hail. Trains might get stuck in the water. It's super-duper deep.
