Nadja Zeitheim said...

Zac, you don't have to watch it, the reasons are listed below the video. I never watched it myself :-) Good luck.

these reasons are fear enough i have 2 faviourite reason 1 obviously time to stay off skool and two for helping cleaning up...

1 reason why peps should stay in ch-ch is 1 because it means youll have a story to tell 2 because its going to bring ch-ch much closer together 3 because ch-ch needs help and everyone is capable of helping one another 4 because expeiences like this will make you be aware and have protection over others 5 because ch-ch is filled up with great memories and for those that were destroyed we need to make new ones and finally peps should stay in ch-ch because no place is better than home!

Those are all really good reasons i think it will bring chch together i know it did in the last one so it will in this one.The no tickets one is good because i dont think anyone has any money right now.

The one about bringing us together you get to meet new people when you help them and you could even make a new best friend who knows.


If everybody leaves there will not be a garden city anymore it will just be an emty dump we NEED to bring back chch no matter how long it takes no matter how we do it WE HAVE TO DO IT.

Take chch and put it together with friends family stangers anybody and we have got our city back together.

Nadja Zeitheim said...

Hey Zac!
Funny question, but I am excited about it :-) Favourite chocolate would definitely have to be Lindt (Lindor or anything without fruit hehe). Favourite icecream? Hm...that's harder...probably Cookies& Cream, why???
Great to see you got onto the reasons!

ive got 3 that would make me stay
1 i would get days off school but i would get real bord and miss my friends so id have to do homework lol..
2 scince the 7.1 ive wanted to go and help shovel silt but i would probley get in the way lol but if we all shovel silt we would all get to no each other well and it would go faster

lucas said...

yes I would have to agree with these reasons.

The one which would want to make me stay (all kids agree)is to have no school.

that flouro jacket guy was finny but bens comment was OVER THE TOP!

My two reasons to stay is...

A.NO SCHOOL. YAAAAAAAAAAY.

B.All the new shops and buildings.

Plus that 11 year old girl I bet 10,00000 buckes she dose not in a million years would she like doing that.

And last but not least I agree with ben... (wellywoods) rugby team sucks!!!!!!

BY LUCAS. BAND SCHOOL.!!!!!!!!!!!

HARRI said...

miss z good on ya cookies and cream
is my fav.

i agree we should stay at ch-ch with flouro jaket guy. =] lol

biking through the park that would be FUN.

because the people who were boren here would proble want to stay because this is were they grew up they dont want to leave!

P.S GO FLOURO JAKET GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hamish McEwan said...

oh i thought the 11 year old girl was a boy thats probably why she sounded a bit girlish

i do agree with all the reasons because they are all true but I'm not to sure what the wizard guy was talking about

i want to stay here the most because the 4WD needs using but its not like you cant drive it anywhere else
and i get days of school

like benb said there will be a whole new christchurch
were the 2nd biggest city in NZ only just in front of wellington we don't want to go behind them

I definitely do not agree with the11year old girl why would you want to clear up pooooo all day. I agree with the little boy it is nice to have days of school.
We should stay here because it's our home and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else and we could probably rebuild everything so it is more safe and stable. The aftershocks and earthquakes might stop anyway.

First of all why should anyone want to stay in Christchurch at this time and it is the most dangerous place I can think of at the moment but that is just my personal opinion.

I disagree with thoose statments because they are only giveing their own personal opinion I mean not every one owns a 4WD and just beacause you dont want to live in Christchurch dosnt mean you have to live in Wellington and the weather there isnt always bad

Here are what would be my 5reasons to stay in Christchurch

1.You can stay with your friend s and family if they live near you and you can go to them for support

2.You may not have enough money to move somwhere else becase you needed to spend it on repairs for your house.

3.Christchurch is a beautiful city why would you want to leave it

4.You may want to put your bit into rebiulding it becase it is your home town

5.Christchurch is christchurch no earthquake is ever going to brake it

So ovrall it doesnt matter where you want to live through these though times what matters is that you are happy where ever you are ... I wouldnt want to live in christchurch now though
