Linwood North Primary School is right in the thick of earthquake country. This collection of Quake Masks is made by Room 9, Yr 5/6 primary students. This is the first time they have done anything like this, a comprehensive but engaging project that took a whole term to complete. A heroic effort by youngsters in the middle of a huge natural disaster, kids you rock!!

Part of the Debrief & Development Quake Mask series made in Canterbury.
