Kevin Archer Taranaki Regional Council

Today we had Kevin Archer come to our school and he had heaps of stories and funny jokes in his mind.He used to work as a teacher but now he works at the Taranaki Regional Council. He goes around teaching heaps of children about the mountain and other things.One of his stories was when he went to a meeting and he saw some people listening to some  volcanologists   talk and  most of them were alright but two of them were so boring  people were starting to go to sleep including him but one person was fully asleep and  he fell off his chair.
He told us there are nine machines under the mountain called Seismometers.They are like a stethoscopes except they listen to the mountain to see if magma pushing upwards. Once Kevin went to a building called the regional council in New Plymouth and saw that there was movement under the mountain but his friend said that it was a only a truck going past it.
Then he showed us what you need in an emergency kit .
Then he played a quick game with us and then he had to go to the Senior room.
